Carr Vale URC, Bolsover

Carr Vale is a very small village, linked with but separate from the small village of New Bolsover. The two lie together below Bolsover Castle, both were mining villages, and neither settlement has any other place of worship.

The chapel building on Sherwood Street has been completely rebuilt recently on the site of the previous vestry and "Institute". This represented a major investment by District and Province and provides an important flexible community resource for the village. It required a tremendous act of faith and commitment of resources to undertake the new build.

There is a monthly "Free Coffee Morning" which attracts a good crowd.

There is good collaboration with the local Anglican and Methodist communities. However, the small but devoted congregation have recently become part of the Rose Hill Church as they currently lack the capacity to undertake the functions of the church unaided.
