| RMMee Moderator Quote | Reply | | Church/Chapel Summary posted on: 6/1/2004 10:52:43 PM As part of my plan for a new page on the web-site, I'd appreciate a little help regarding present and past religious buildings in the area. (I'm okay with Langley Mill - though confirmation would be good - but some of the other areas are a bit hazy.) I intend doing a page listing, and showing a number of photo's of churches and chapels. Could contributors please  list any buildings of which they are aware, expecially ones which are no longer there in their original form,Replies need splitting into: Heanor (or specific areas of Heanor) Loscoe Codnor Marlpool Langley Langley Mill Shipley Smalley Cheers Robert Mee |

Church/Chapel Summary
replied on: 9/7/2004 10:04:22 AM The one i know of personally, Robert, is the Heanor Babtist Chapel which is over the top of Derby Road, on the left, practically across from the new housing estate, towards the bottom of Smalley Hill. Two past names of the Sunday School hierarchy quickly spring to mind - Mr. John Brough and Mr. Williams, both now long gone. In the Winter months, it had a lovely warm boiler room to the rear of the building, where, on occasions, you could escape to if you happened to be lucky. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/8/2004 8:28:53 AM No it was at the top of the hill on the left. We used to live on Milnhay Road and walked up there twice every Sunday, morning service and Sunday school in the afternoon. |

Church/Chapel Summary
replied on: 9/8/2004 11:13:51 AM Ah yes. Mount St; Chapel. It always smelled heavily and continuously of furniture polish. As youngsters, a few of us helped to move chairs, benches and do the occasional dusting. But eventually, our increasing boisterousness ended our voluntary helping hands and eventually, we were roughly shown the door, then the outer gate and never more to wander freely inside again. Chrisbrin, which side of the Chapel did your friend's Grandma used to live? Do you remember her name? Azzabuv. |

Church/Chapel Summary
replied on: 9/8/2004 6:32:35 PM I think i'm getting a bit confused here, Chrisbrin, but thanks for the info. The only Mr. and Mrs. Robins/Robbins who i knew at those times, lived next to the box factory (joined on, even) at the top of Mount St; on the right hand side. Eric and i used to walk down some nights with his dad, so it was the top house. Was there another Mrs. R.? I never knew of one, but.... Azzabuv. |

Church/Chapel Summary
replied on: 9/12/2004 8:40:10 AM Okay Now that we're starting to get some posts on the subjects, I'll list all the churches/chapels that have been referred to in the newsletters of the History Society. Remember that some of these may not have been in existence for a couple of hundred years already. I know that there is some duplication already, with churches known by more than one name. I also know that there will be the odd missing establishment - any information about any of them would be appreciated (perhaps under a new Subject Heading) So, here goes: Codnor Bethseda Chapel Codnor Breach Quakers Meeting House Codnor Castle Chapel Codnor Methodist Church Codnor Primitive Methodist Chapel Codnor St. James (Crosshill Church) Codnor United Methodist Free Church Codnor Wesleyan Chapel Heanor Baptist Chapel, Heanor Common (Derby Rd) Heanor Calvinist Heanor St. Lawrence Heanor Free Methodist Chapel, Mount Street Heanor Friends Meeting House Heanor Independent Chapel Heanor Mansfield Road Methodist Chapel Heanor Methodist Chapel, Market Street Heanor Methodist Chapel, Tagg Hill Heanor Pentecostal Church, Hands Road Heanor Presbyterian Chapel, Abbott Street Heanor Primitive Methodist Chapel, Park Street Heanor Salvation Army Citadel, Derby Road Heanor Wesleyan Chapel Langley Chapel (United Reformed Church), Breach Road Langley Friends Meeting House Langley Methodist Chapel Langley, St. Mary's Langley Mill Baptist Chapel Langley Mill Church (St Andrews) Langley Mill Mission Church Langley Mill Primitive Methodist Langley Mill Wesleyan Chapel Loscoe Baptist Chapel/Schoolroom Loscoe Mission Church, Denby Lane Loscoe Primitive Methodist Chapel Loscoe, St. Luke's Marlpool Cemetery Chapels Marlpool Congregational Chapel Marlpool Independent Chapel Marlpool Mount Zion Chapel Marlpool United Reformed Church Marlpool, All Saints Milnhay Independent Chapel Milnhay Primitive Chapel Smalley Chapel Smalley St. John the Baptist As I said above, I know that there are a few missing: Two of these are: 1. Langley Mill Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 2. Langley Mill United Methodist Do you know of more? Wasn't there a Roman Catholic church at Marlpool at one time? |

replied on: 9/12/2004 8:53:19 AM Oops - I must pass it very frequently then - especially when I go to the Heritage Centre. Did it not used to be further along Ilkeston Road, just the Ilkeston side of Lockton Avenue? |

replied on: 9/12/2004 12:34:12 PM Thats the one. Heading towards Ilkeston, Lockton Avenue, Dentist, entrance to cemetery then Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart. Apparently there also used to be a Church/Chapel on Elnor Street, Langley Mill, opposite the old infants school, I don't know what it was called, but it was used as the meeting house for Heanor Clarion Cycling Club, probably 1940's. |
