The Church

This attractive village chapel, with a church hall attached, for many years has been used by a number of groups within the village. It has access for the disabled, via the church hall, and a loop system for the hard of hearing.

Historically, this village has played a major part in bringing Primitive Methodism to Derbyshire; one of its residents, a Mrs Salisbury, is reputed to have attended a Camp Meeting in Ramsor in 1810 at which she asked Hugh Bourne, one of the founders of the Primitive Methodist Movement, to send a preacher to this area. Hugh Bourne himself along with his co-founder, William Clowes, is known to have visited the village and surrounding houses regularly in the first half of the 19th Century.
Today, you will find a warm and welcoming congregation in Church Broughton Methodist Church.
