Heanor Free Church
replied on: 6/23/2006 9:43:28 PM The church building started as a "Church of Christ" and was an offshoot from the Church of Christ in Langley which later became United Reformed as part of the Church of Christ movment in Englands merger with the U.R.C. Due to certain doctrinal beliefs the Church of Christ usually refered to their buildings as Christian meeting houses rather than rather than churches and most did not have musical instruments allowed until the 40's and later. There is another Christian meeting house builgin still surviving in the area (last time I checked) in Hilltop, Eastwood. All three buildings follow very similar structural simularities and can be compared in style to the survivin early Church of Christ buildings in America where the movement was founded. I think I still have the transcripts of the Langley Churches archives somewhere if you want quotes for the Heanor branches founding and year? ... that it if I can remember where on earth I put the disc to free up room on the hard drive |
