Administrative History	Belper was a chapelry of Duffield until 1846. The original chapel of St John the Baptist was used until St Peter's Church was built (1822) and consecrated (1824) with the help of public grants and subscriptions. The chapel of St John was then used for a time as a chapel of ease to St Peter's Church. The chapel was licensed for baptisms in 1783 and for burials in 1794. In 1847, St Peter's Church was licensed for marriages although many marriages of Belper people appear to have continued at Duffield until the end of the nineteenth century. In 1859 Belper cemetery was opened and register PI 5/4 records Anglican burials there, 1861-1884. Burials in vaults at St Peter's Church to 1919 are recorded in register PI 5/3. The ecclesiastical districts of Christ Church, Bridgehill and Milford were constituted in 1845 and 1846 respectively. The Christ Church (D2136) and Milford registers (D2135) are deposited in the Derbyshire Record Office. St Mark's Church at Openwoodgate is a mission church to St Peter's which was built in 1891. St Swithin's Mission Church at Cow Hill was built in 1913.
