In connection with it is a Sunday school of 30 scholars. (1) There is an Independent Chapel situated here on the 1st edition OS map. (2) The Congregational Chapel at Turnditch, with Sunday school, was built in 1818 by Mr Statham, of Green Bank, and Mr Harrison, of Belper. W Statham, Esq., the present owner of the Green Bank, contributes £12 15s yearly towards its support. It is a brick building without any exterior embellishments, but the interior is well furnished with open pews of pitchpine, and the walls painted in imitation of stone work. There is a handsome marble tablet to the memory of W Statham, who died in 1844. (3) Green Bank Chapel was built in 1818 for a Congregational church formerly associated with Belper. It has brick walls and tiled roofs. The original building has a gabled front with two former windows with splayed lintels and a central entrance. It was extended to one side and refitted in the later 19th century. (4) The chapel is still in use as a place of worship [2011]. (5)
