Apperknowle, the Methodist Chapel on High Street, which was built as Primitive Methodist, opening in 1879 (according to its
My Primitive Methodists entry). The same source also mentions an earlier chapel - Ebenezer (1861) which stood or stands "at the
 junction of Barrack Road and Chapel Lane, almost opposite the junction with Quarry Road". It's marked on a map of 1877, immediately south-east of the junction mentioned, on the west side of the road, and the property on the site today can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview. Whether anything of the chapel remains is not known. SK 3837 7826. © David Regan (2020).

It's interesting how the same events can be spun to give two completely different stories: according to here, it was "apparently, mistakenly pulled down" and re-built near Carsington Water by Severn Trent Water. The official Carsington Water website says it was "dismantled piece by piece". It now stands near to the Visitor Centre, and serves as the HQ for the Volunteer Rangers.

The housing built on the site can be seen in a Streetview of 2019 (the two left-most modern houses). 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, here, in a Streetview of 2008.

Another view, and two interior views (photographed by kind permission of the church Administrator) - 1, 2, all © Mike Berrell (2011). Although the church dates from the 12th century, a cross (sides 1 and 2) in the churchyard speaks of the presence of Christianity in the area since at least the 8th century (the Wikipedia entry for Eyam says that the cross isn't in its original location). The story of Eyam and the plague is of course well known - the Wikipedia entry referred to earlier covers it if you are unfamiliar with it. A modern window, installed in 1972 in memory of Richard Creswick, commemorates the events of the plague, and a document records the names of the plagues victims. Two other windows - 1, 2. I particularly like this "fat cat" gargoyle, though its good state of preservation suggests it is relatively modern. Another interior view and the two fonts - 1, 2, the latter much the more interesting and older (circa 12th century). Some fragments of wall painting survive. All © Carole Sage (2018). Link.

Nether Heage, the former Mission Room on Shop Lane pre-dates an O.S. map of 1892-1914. If anything survives of the original building, it will be the brick-built part at the left, gable-end to the road, whose footprint matches the map. The rest of the building is later, possibly dating to the time of it's conversion or re-build, recorded in the date-stone for 1985, visible on a Streetview of 2019. SK 3613 5072.

SK 3979 7556. All © David Regan (2020). A glance at the 1" O.S. map of 1952 shows another four churches in the village, surprising for a settlement of its size. These are Primitive, Wesleyan, and United Methodist, and a Catholic. The P.M. Chapel stood on Back South Street at SK 3980 7539, and has been replaced by a more modern secular building (a school according to this source). Its site can be seen here, on a 2019 Streetview, at the far end of the lane. The Methodist Church, (originally Wesleyan) stood on Wellington Street at SK 3993 7550, and has been replaced by housing. It's dated to 1861-1986 here, and its location can be seen on a 2016 Streetview here. The Roman Catholic Church has also been demolished and replaced by housing, just a short distance from the Wesleyan, at SK 3991 7544. See here. The National Archives mentions documents pertaining to St. Patrick's for 1948-1978. The U.M. Chapel stood on London Street (now re-named as Cross London Street) at SK 3979 7531. The site remained unoccupied at the time of the latest Streetview van visit in 2012. An earlier R.C. Chapel is shown on the 6" map of 1899 at SK 3970 7547, in a courtyard off High Street. It stood roughly at the far end of the furthest lawn, as seen in this 2012 Streetview - High Street is on the other side of the houses, the Streetview van was on Highgate Close, which didn't exist when the chapel was in use.

A Mission Room can be seen on old maps from the 1917 to the 1938/9 editions, on the north side of Williamthorpe Road at circa SK 4168 6540. It stood on the triangular piece of grassland seen in this 2019 Streetview. This source mentions a Highfields Mission (or St. Martin's Mission) which is possibly this one, but unfortunately doesn't give its location. Not far away on the opposite side of the road once stood a Christadelphian Hall, at SK 4179 6536, and it's given dates of 1927-circa 2001 in the source mentioned earlier. The two bungalows which stand on the site can be seen here, on the very first Streetview (2008). A former Primitive Methodist Chapel stands on Hepthorne Lane (now, apparently, Station Road). Again, it's dated in the same source to 1914-2004, and later converted into housing.

Other related listings can be found here. A Primitive Methodist Chapel once stood on the east side of Green Lane. It preceded a map of 1900, and was still active as Ockbrook Methodist Church into the 1970's at least. SK 4229 3634. Its site can be seen in a Streetview from 2019. An earlier P.M. chapel is shown on a map of 1881, but it's not clear to which building the label should be applied. It stood at the northern end of Wesley Lane at circa SK 422 362. I've not been able to establish whether it survives, or find a photo, and the Streetview camera hasn't visited. Given the street name, it's at least possible that this was originally the Wesleyan Chapel mentioned on Genuki as having been built in 1808. David Regan has advised of this website that shows that my assumption was correct - this was originally a Wesleyan Chapel, and the reasons for their having to give it up can be read under the heading "Ockbrook 1871".

The same map also shows a Primitive Methodist Chapel at Gorsey Lees, at SK 3006 1539. It doesn't show on a map of 1901. Does anything survive of it? Another P.M. Chapel shows on the 1901 map on Woodville Road, at SK 3000 1572. It's presumably this chapel of which there is an interior photo from 1912 here. The buildings on the site today can be seen on a Streetview from 2023. Genuki also lists a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, of 1860 re-built 1895, but I haven't been able to locate it. Could the latter P.M. chapel have changed hands at some point?

Stonebroom, St. Peter on High Street, labelled on earlier maps as Mission Church. Its grade II listing dates it to 1900. SK 4159 5978. Link. The Methodist Church also stands on High Street, on the site of Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel. In fact not quite on the same site, as old maps show that Zion stood with its long axis at 90° to the road, extending away from the three parking bays at the right side of the plot seen in a 2020 Streetview. Despite having been demolished relatively recently, I've been unable to find a photo of Zion. SK 4141 5969. Link. Both

It's dated here to 1877 to "after 1995". There was also a Free United Methodist Chapel (Bethel) on High Street at SK 4154 5972. National archives references documents pertaining to the chapel to 1879-1969. A photo is available here, and the house occupying the site today can be seen in a 2020 Streetview.

Stretton, the site of the demolished United Methodist Chapel. It stood immediately behind where the bus shelter is today, long axis parallel to the road. SK 3926 6114. The village cemetery is about ¾ of a mile west of the village, and has a double Mortuary Chapel, Church of England and Nonconformist. According to this source the cemetery dates from 1884; whether the chapels date from the same time is so far not clear. SK 3813 6138. All

This source says it was closed "about 1875" and later demolished. I've been unable to find a photo. Its site lies somewhere within the woodland on the left of a Streetview of 2019.
