New Whittington Primitive Methodist chapel

The 1874 Primitive Methodist magazine tells us that  New Whittington  was one of five Primitive Methodist chapels in the Chesterfield circuit that had cleared its outstanding debt – in this case £200. Not only that, but they were thoroughly renovating the chapel at great cost.

The 1916 Ordnance Survey map shows a Primitive Methodist chapel at the northern end of Back South Street.  There is a school building on the site in 2019
