  • Kniveton is a small village with today a population of only 300. The steep Chapel Lane (perhaps more correctly chapels lane) was the location for both the Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapels.
    Whilst the Primitive chapel is still in use on the right ascending, further up to the left is the former Wesleyan chapel which was latterly used as a Sunday School for the Primitive Methodist society, now named Primrose cottage.

  • From 1845 for a short while Kniveton was the head of a circuit, (containing Brassington,, Hognaston, Ashbourne and Ible )with the circuit being refashioned into the Wirksworth circuit for the 1860 Jubilee.
