replied on: 10/19/2006 8:35:09 AM 26th Dec1867, I/P, Heanor as the old parish church is now being rebuilt, the service of late have been held in the National School Room, but owing to the severer nature of the weather, and the vicars desire to make his congregation comfortable it has been thought necessary to hold the services in the Town Hall, at which place they will be held on Sunday next, the 29th inst, for the first time, we understand there will be a public tea on new years day, after which the worthy vicar will deliverer a lecture on Nineveh illustrated by diagrams when it is hoped all who possibly can will attend. 5th November 1868 Ilkeston Pioneer Opening of Heanor Church On Monday the 2nd of November, the parish Church was re-opened after a complete restoration. The old Church was very much dilapidated, and unsuitable to the wants of the church. It was a plain building erected in King Stephen’s time. In its vaults lie many of the men who bore famous names in the olden day. The Grays and Zouches, of Codnor, and the Lowes and Strelleys, and Vavacours and Mundys, of Shipley, were buried here.
