1. The History
This former High Peak church is situated in the village of Peak Dale, Derbyshire. It was founded in 1886 and cost £1,500 to build in stone in a modern Gothic style. Consisting of a chancel and nave, it had an unfinished western tower, containing one bell. An organ was installed in 1902, and there where seats for a congregation of 200 persons.

In 1890 a burial ground of half an acre, granted by F.W. Bagshawe. It apparently closed around 2014 and has been empty ever since. In October 2019 planning permission was granted to convert the church into five 2/3 bed dwellings with associated parking but currently no work has been started.

2. The Explore
Big up to @Bikin Glynn for the head's up RE: this place. Explored with my non-forum member mate. This place has come up on here occasionally around 2016. It hasn’t changed much since then and is a nice relaxed explore on a sunny day in this lovely neck of the woods. After clambering through a window found that the door was wide open(!). This place is a bit off the beaten track. It’s been completely emptied bar the piano and the odd but of furniture. However, some nice internal features and the lack of vandalism make it a nice place to spend half an hour or so having a mooch.

Well am glad the building will be saved hopefully keeping some lovely original features, definitely needs that kitchen upgrade ! Would struggle with anything via beans on toast in that kitchen !
