Christ Church, Hackenthorpe

This building was later turned into a co-operative grocery store and finally a button factory ran by Charles Singleton Ltd.

[1] It is recorded that the foundation stone was laid on 4 June 1898 by Viscount Newark, the Earl Manvers eldest son.

Beneath the foundation stone was laid a coffin which contained a newspaper of the day, parchment bearing the names of the church committee and a coin of the realm.

[2] A chapel arch was originally planned, however this needed to be rebuilt and strengthened and due to lack of funds, this was never replaced.

This shortage of money was in spite of £250 promised from James Houndsfield if the chapel was built in his lifetime and also a further £25 offer from John Jubb from Drakehouse under the same conditions.
