AKA Loxley United Reformed / Independent Church.


Loxley Congregational, built 1787 and closed in 1993. There are 2 very overgrown graveyards - the upper is still in use, where a military headstone (Navy) stands proud.

The graveyard is also home to several victims of the Sheffield flood 1864.

Henry Wilde, the Chief Officer of the RMS Titanic was christened here in 1872

Brief history, now on with the pics.

Thanks for looking.

Images taken with Canon 5D and Sigma 20mm for those interested.
 
Some great use of natural light through the windows and down that corridor. I like little chapels like that. Thanks.
 
What a lovely little chapel. :) Love seeing the organ (even in it's present state) and the pipes still there. Great to see a lot of the him books, pews, and everything else still inside the building. Gorgeous place,and love the church yard too. :)

Cheers,

:) Sal
 
This building breaks my heart 4 years ago this building was in mint condition, We enquirer about opening it as a community center and was turned down. Now the vandals thief's etc have been in and wrecked the place. Another piece of our heritage is about to be lost. So angry.:cry:
