Of course it is Codnor, Robert, I have somewhere the dates when the area of "Loscoe & Codnor" became "two places" Thought I'd post this information, as a friend of my husband's was insisting the building was originally a cinema -we knew it wasn't but had to find written "evidence" to convince them!

I've seen this quote before, and have had to explain that the Chapel is, of course, in Codnor not Loscoe.

But let's not forget that at the time the chapel was built Codnor and Loscoe was all part of the same parish. I have on several occasions seen Loscoe locations described as being in Codnor.

The Bethesda Methodist Chapel in Loscoe was built in 1854 at a cost of £350 and was a breakaway group fronm the Weslyan reformers. At some time it was enlarged to seat 750 people.
Known as the "Top Chapel" as it was higher up the hill than the Weslyan Chapel.
It was sold to defray the cost of building a new chapel on Mill Lane, which opened Saturday 1st Nov 1980.

The old chapel is now a store which sells aquatic goods, rabbit hutches and samuri swords (amongst other items)
