Tibshelf - Methodist Church
Image: © Dave Bevis Taken: 19 Oct 2014
This Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on High Street was erected in 1863 and was capable of accommodating 250 people. A Sunday School was added to the rear of the building (on Back Lane) in 1891. See the Derbyshire Historic Environment Record (http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MDR11769&resourceID=1023 ) for more details. The front entrance to the chapel is built in the Art Deco style, suggesting that this was a later (possibly 1930's) addition. This Wesleyan Chapel was one of three Methodist churches in Tibshelf. The others were: (a) A United Free Methodist Chapel on Addison Street. This was erected in 1884 and was a small plain structure, capable of seating 150. Now demolished. See http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MDR11771&resourceID=1023 for details. (b) A Primitive Methodist Chapel on Alfreton Road. This was built in 1878. Now demolished. See http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MDR11770&resourceID=1023 for details.
