Ambergate, St. Anne. SK 3479 5144. © James Murray. Link. The former Methodist Chapel on Newbridge Road and Derby Road. Built before 1880 as Wesleyan, it's now in commercial use. SK 3485 5141. © Richard Roberts (2014). The present Methodist Church is on Devonshire Street. Not well seen by Streetview, the church website has a clickable photo. SK 3491 5099. Bethel Methodist Chapel is shown on a map of 1885, surveyed no later than 1879. A map from 1900 labels it as Free United Methodist. It continued in active use into the second half of the last century. The house on the site today has the same footprint, but whether it's the converted chapel, or a more recent house is unclear - 2023 Streetview. SK 3487 5088.
Apperknowle, the Methodist Chapel on High Street, which was built as Primitive Methodist, opening in 1879 (according to its
My Primitive Methodists entry).
SK 3837 7826. © David Regan (2020). Link. The source already quoted from 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.

Grade II listed. A churchyard cross is also listed as grade II. The former Methodist Chapel, on Court Lane at SK 1955 6974. It's labelled as a chapel on a map of 1898 (but not the denomination), and had evidently gone out of use by the time of mid-century maps. It appears on Geograph, where it's called Wesleyan, of 1899. © Gervase N. E. Charmley (2011). Another Chapel shows on the same 1898 map on Buxton Road at SK 1932 6975. Also unidentified, its site was seen by Streetview in 2019. Its likely to be one of the following - Genuki mentions an earlier Wesleyan Chapel of 1830, a Congregational (later Unitarian) Chapel of 1700, re-built 1841, and a Baptist Chapel on Ashford Lane, built by 1857. I haven't been able to positively locate any of these.

SK 4178 7528. © David Regan (2020). There was also a Primitive Methodist Chapel in the village, on Campbell Drive, at SK 4151 7550. Now demolished, old maps show that it had been built before 1877, a map of 1961 marks it as Zion Methodist Church, and a 1967 map as simply "Ch.". Its date of closure and demolition are so far undetermined. Link.
Barrow-upon-Trent, St. Wilfrid on Church Lane. SK 3529 2839. © Richard Roberts (2013). Link. Grade I listed. The former Bethel Chapel on Chapel Lane, dated 1839, is now a private residence.

Grade II* listed. For related listed features see here. Baslow Methodist Church. The roundel above the door has "Wesleyan Methodist School 1822", so there must have been an earlier chapel building elsewhere. This source says it only became the chapel in the 1960's. SK 2541 7243. © Steve Bulman (2011). This document locates the earlier Chapel at Over End, and dates it to 1796. A map of 1883 shows a Chapel at the junction of School Lane and an access Road, at SK 2548 7248. No available later maps label it any more helpfully. The building on the site today was seen by Streetview in 2023 (the recessed central part of the building has a sign saying Over End Cottage). On the same map of 1883, just a few yards behind the Chapel further from the road is another one, labelled as Zion Chapel (Wes. Ref. Meth), at SK 2545 7251 or SK 7546 7251 (it isn't clear which building the label is referring to). It isn't indicated as a place of worship on later maps. It (or its replacement) hasn't been seen by Streetview.

Bonsall Assemblies of God Church (Pentecostal) on High Street. The oldest available on-line map (1884) shows it as Primitive Methodist, in 1900 as a Temperance Hall, 1920's maps show it as secular, and by the mid-20th century as an un-labelled place of worship, and Gerard photographed it as AoG in 2011. In 2024 it was being labelled as Village Life Church on Google Maps. This source dates it to 1852, originally as Primitive Methodist. SK 2782 5846. © Gerard Charmley (2011).

A C17 barn, for which the upper story was used for non-conformist worship. 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 Facebook page says it was "dismantled piece by piece". It now stands near to the Visitor Centre, and serves as the HQ for the Volunteer Rangers.

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, where it's dated to before 1874). 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.

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"

Wingerworth, All Saints. The modern extension is rather oddly aligned in a north-south orientation. SK 38319 67454. Both © David Regan (2011). Three additional  views - 1, 2, 3, the sun-dial (dated 1770), weather-vane, two of the gargoyles - 1, 2, 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 is also some medieval wall painting. A carved stone effigy has been dated as circa 1200. The organ and Norman font. The interior of the modern extension. All © Carole Sage (2018). Link. Grade I listed. Salem Independent Chapel (1849) on Malthouse Lane, which is now Methodist. Another view. SK 36232 66975.

Yeaveley, Holy Trinity (1840) on Leapley Lane and Rodsley Lane. SK 1864 4029. © James Murray. Another view, and an interior, both © Richard Roberts (2014). Link. 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. Grade I listed.
