The Chapel on the Hill in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, was built in 1883 by local builders Shaw & Brassington for £1,480, designed by Richard Charles Sutton. Sutton, a notable Victorian architect, was responsible for various public buildings in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The Chapel, a well-preserved example of Victorian architecture, features unique design elements such as blue tiles thought to deter flies and a glass screen protecting mourners from the deceased. Over the years, it has witnessed numerous local events, including a royal visit in 1914.
The building has undergone restoration, notably in 2015, led by Councillor Trevor Rood and supported by the community. Historic England awarded it Grade II listed status, recognizing its architectural and historical significance. The Chapel has since been reopened for civil ceremonies, weddings, and funerals, serving the local community once again. Its restoration preserved key features such as original floor tiles and ornate wooden fretwork, and it now boasts updated lighting and external floodlights, highlighting its Gothic revival design.
