 Wesleyan Chapel Burial Ground
replied on: 6/3/2005 8:05:13 PM
There were some old graves, with and without headstones, on the left-hand side of the Centenary Hall, stretching from the front side to the back of it on that side.

They were situated on a narrow strip of ground, approximately 50 feet wide, and reached right to the back of the Hall.

The last time i saw them was around the early 1950s.

I don't know, but I do know that the order for it to cease being used was issued by Whitehall on 22 August 1856, along with the Heanor Parish Church, Marlpool Congregational Chapel, Langley Mill Baptist Chapel, and Heanor Common Baptist Chapel. This gave rise to the setting up of the Marlpool Cemetery.

Perhaps the burial ground was covered over when the Centenary Hall (also now gone) was built in 1904?
