The chapel (out of sight on the left) dates from 1811. In the background is the school which was rebuilt in 1881. The car park is on the site of the graveyard. 3,000 bodies was exhumed and re-interred at Glossop Municipal Cemetery in April 1976 and a memorial stone to those once buried at Littlemoor can now be seen there. The Chapel eventually closed and is now used as a Fitness Centre whilst the school has been converted into apartments. More information on this and other Glossop churches can be found on the web pages of Glossop Heritage Trust http://www.glossopheritage.co.uk/indep.htm
