Constructed as a Chapel of Ease for the parish of All Saints, this is the only remaining 'tin tabernacle' still in use as a place of worship in the Diocese of Derby. It was presented by the parish of Heanor as a temporary building in 1912 and has recently passed its centenary. After refurbishment in 2013 it is good for quite a few years more.
