Description: The first chapel was located in Matlock Green in 1842 having 200 sittings, to be replaced in 1866 by a larger chapel (having 500 sittings) built in the Early English Gothic style on Chesterfield Road. They were both administered by the same minister for a time. From 1873 for the next three years the Rev. Edwin Clarke was the minister at the Farley Congregational Chapel and was later to be the chaplain at Smedley's Hydropathic Institution. In 1886 a manse was built adjoining the church at a cost of £850, which was demolished in 1970. In 1901 the foundation stone was laid for a new Sunday School on Chesterfield Road. The original school at Matlock Green had to be demolished as it had been condemned by the Education Authority prior to 1899. This building, which cost £2,500, was a 'new, noble and massive structure' designed by W Hunt of Northampton - now demolished - but the school room still stands. In 1971, the former church building was demolished and the Sunday School was renovated, being rededicated as a place of worship. In 1990 the premises at Church Road was closed and the congregation joined the Bank Road Church.
