St Mary’s Chapel (former), Bendish Lane, Whitwell

At the western end of the largest of several hamlets in the area. It is now housing and in April 2015 was undergoing extension. The final four images are from May 2018 after this work had been completed. It appears to have belonged to the Countess of Huntingdon’s Connexion according to the Victoria County History but later became a church of the Free Church of England which had its origins in that Connexion. It was originally built in the 1820s and extended in 1866.
