Full Description
According to White's Directory, the Independents had a neat brick chapel in Calow, erected in 1837, which will seat about 250, in connection with which is a day school, erected in 1855, and taught on the British system. It was a small neat brick building and will accommodate about 100, average attendance was 60. (1)
There is a Congregational Chapel situated in Calow on the 1st edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1880, with a Boys and Girls School to the rear. Presumably that referred to by White in 1857. (2)
The 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1900 shows the school had been turned into a Sunday School and there was a burial ground attached to the Chapel. (3)
Modern Maps show the building is still in use as a United Reformed Church. (4)
