Wesleyan Reform Church
The
first Church on Bagshaw Hill was built on rented land in the mid 1800s
and the present building was erected in 1887, the land being a gift of
George Wain and Joseph Winson and comfortably seated 250 worshippers and
the Sunday School accommodated 150 scholars. The Church was the head of
a circuit of 17 chapels with the circuit extending from Eyam to Stanton
and from Curbar to Winster and Darley. Latterly the lower part of the
building was used for commercial purposes and the Church closed in the
1980s and several members thereafter worshipped at the Matlock Street
Church.
