In 1888, the Chesterfield Primitive Methodist Circuit split into three:

- Chesterfield 2nd Circuit (later Mount Zion Circuit): Mount Zion, Hasland, Brampton, Holymoorside, Cutthorpe, Wadshelf, Calow Green, Barlow and Newbold
- Chesterfield 3rd Circuit: Whittington Moor, Whittington, Apperknowle, Barrow Hill, New Whittington, Sheepbridge and Unstone. Most of these joined the Mount Zion Circuit after the unification of the Methodist Church in 1932.
