Full Description
According to Bulmer's Directory, the United Methodist Free Church in Clay Cross was built in 1887, at a cost of £2,400. It was a handsome stone edifice, in the Gothic style, capable of seating 400 persons. (1)
There is a Methodist Chapel (Free United) situated on Market Street, Clay Cross, on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1900, presumably that referred to by Bulmer in 1895. (2)
The 3rd edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1900 shows this building had been taken over by the Wesleyan Methodists. (3)
Modern maps show this building is still extant and in use by the North East Derbyshire Christian Fellowship. (4)
