St Michael vs St Lawrence
replied on: 10/29/2006 7:46:36 PM

We have been doing some checking on the supposed name change of Heanor's Parish church.

The history is supposed that the Church was St Michael's until the 1600's and then changed to St Lawrence - this even supported even by the historical society website.

Based on some of the research that we have done so far I think this could be an error. The information we've found so far that refer to it being St Michael's can be accounted for under the research we have done.

Does anybody know which records refer to the church as St Michaels? I want to check that there are not any that I have missed that may mess up the theory. Most of the referances to saying that it was St Michael's like Cox's book are annoying vague by just refering to "some sixteenth century documents"
