Full Description
The 1st ed. 25" OS map of c. 1880 shows a Free United Methodist Free Chapel on Town Street. (1)
It had been enlarged to include a Sunday School by the end of the 19th century. (2, 3)
The United Methodist Free Church, erected 1864, in Town Street, is a plain brick building, with pointed windows. Adjoining is a Sunday school, built in 1885, at a cost of £400, to accommodate 300. (4)
The first chapel was built in 1864 with distinctive pointed arch windows and front porch, followed in 1885 with a Sunday school at a cost of £400. After the closing of the Slade Lane Chapel [see SMR 11920] it was decided to modernise and refurbish Town Street with the work force of the "The Community Industry Group" (Chesterfield). (5)
The church and Sunday school still appear to be in use [2009]. (6)
