The Chapel in the centre of Chesterfield has stood since 1694 and is the oldest non-conformist chapel in the whole of Derbyshire. It is a quiet retreat on the smart thoroughfare of Elder Way. It has a historical graveyard with many notable town figures remembered and the oldest grave dates back to 1705.
