Church Gresley, St. George and St. Mary

overhaul between 2015 and 2022 (2022
Streetview), apparently closed and converted to residential use. The
Methodist Church (2022

church website
dates it to 1971. It stands on the site of a Wesleyan Chapel (photo
here), built by 1901. SK 2964 1874. Older O.S. maps show a
Methodist Chapel (Free United) on Chapel Street. SK
2931 1820. Pre-dating a map of 1884, it seems to have gone out of use in the
mid-20th century. The housing built on its site was seen by
Streetview in 2009. The
earliest (1884) available O.S. map of the village shows a
Primitive Methodist Chapel on Market Street and at
SK 2984 1859. It's no longer marked on the next map of 1901. Its
site was seen by
Streetview in 2019. An otherwise unidentified Chapel
is shown on a map of 1902 on Highfield Street. SK 3000 1916. It's given here as
Primitive Methodist, built before 1901, closed 1955. Demolished, it's site is

The Primitive Methodists also had a chapel, on
Wright Street, at SK 4175 4954. It's dated
here to 1880 to circa 1970. It
was a building site in 2018
when the Streetview van went past. The website also mentions its predecessor on
Needham Street, of 1857. When the Wright Street Chapel was opened, the old
Needham Street building was used as a Sunday School, and is so marked on old
maps, at SK 4166 4947. It was demolished in the 1960's after being in secular
use for many years. I think it stood roughly where the brick building is seen,

comment here advises of its closure in 2021, re-opening soon after as an

WWI intervened, and the intended further work never carried out. SK 2460 7790.

Chapels, both on Belper Road, both pre-dating a map of 1886, and both remaining
in active use into the latter half of the last century. The
Wesleyan was at SK 4173 4218, and had been
demolished by 2011 and replaced with the housing seen by
Streetview in 2011. It's
dated
here to 1887-1966. Another
source (which includes a photo) says it replaced an earlier chapel of 1837
on the same site. The P.M. was further east at SK
4206 4201. The building on the site today has the same footprint as the chapel,
but looks to be a more recent build -

The same source says that this had been preceded by two earlier chapels of 1827

surrounding buildings and road layout it's difficult to locate exactly where the
church stood, but it will be somewhere in this

grade II listing (which dates it to 1822) has a good photo. In what seems to
be a rare error on the part of the Ordnance Survey, large scale maps of 1898 and
1899 and the 1" map of 1951 mark the wrong building as the chapel.
Stretton, the site of the demolished

up at the time of the first Streetview in 2009. A large scale map of 1884 shows
that it was originally smaller, and set further back from the road. There was
another P.M. on Highfields Street (now Highfields
Road) at SK 3000 1916. So labelled on a map of 1923, it first shows on a map of

Link. The
history
page dates it to 1981-2. There is a photo of its (mostly) demolished
predecessor, which it dates to 1858. The former
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on
Repton Road, now in residential use. The building date is uncertain, but is
before 1880, as it shows on the OS map of that year. SK 2942 2825. © Richard

sun-dial (dated 1770),

lych-gate, and the early
preaching cross base. The original
church, which became the medieval chancel, is now the
Lady Chapel, and the old nave is
now called the narthex. Between
the two stands the chancel arch,
with rood loft above (circa 1500, and the only one to survive in the county),
and squint to the left. The ringing room has a
plaque recording a bell-ringing
feat. The East window; an unusual
survival in the wooden beam over it is a
"Jack O' The Green". Some
C14 glass survives in other
windows, and there are also some medieval
wall paintings. A carved stone
effigy has been dated as circa
1200. The organ and
Norman font. The
interior of the modern extension.

Link. Not
identified on available on-line maps is a Chapel
which stood on Frederick Street at SK 3105 1924. Post-dating a map of 1885, it
survived in active use into the second half of the last century, but has since
been demolished, and replaced by a house, seen by
Streetview in 2023 -
though the chapel was set back a little way. This
source identifies
it as Primitive Methodist, and dates it to 1889. Another
Primitive Methodist Chapel shows on O.S. maps on Chapel Street at SK 3148
1860. It too survived in active use into the second half of the last century,
but has now also been replaced by housing -

Grade II listed. A little way south of the village is the former
Providence Independent
Methodist Chapel (2009 Streetview), at SK 1845 3992. So labelled on a map of
1887, later maps call it Congregational. It was still marked as active on a map
of 1960. Stydd Hall stands about a mile to the W.S.W. of the village. In its
grounds are the remains of the Chapel of St. Mary and St.
John the Baptist, a preceptory of the Knights Hospitaller. Its
Wikipedia entry
has a photo. SK 1721 3999.
