| Hathersage Primitive Methodist Church (1895-1932) |
| Administrative History | A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built on the main street in Hathersage in 1807. It was enlarged in 1871, and had a Sunday School built in 1845. A later Sunday School was built in 1907, along with other premises, known as The Institute, which was transferred to the Roman Catholic Church after the Second World War. It was originally in the Bradwell Wesleyan Circuit.
The Primitive Methodist Church was erected in 1895, being part of the Bradwell Circuit.
Following the amalgamation of the Primitive, Wesleyan and United Methodist Churches in Britain in 1932, the Primitive Methodists closed their church and they seem to have been absorbed into the congregation of the old Wesleyan church. In 1939 a new Methodist Church was built. |
| Custodial History | The records were deposited with Derbyshire Record Office by Peak Methodist Circuit under reference D1877 and re-accessioned to D3965 in May 1994. Further deposits were made in January 2003, July 2004, August 2008, June 2010, September 2019 and July 2025. |
