The Methodist Chapel
Sunday Services at 6pm
was built in 1834, however, there are numerous pieces of documentary evidence which suggest that Dissenting Presbyterians held religious services in the village following the death of William Bagshawe in 1702.
The care of the Apostle of the Peak's congregations fell
jointly into the hands of his nephew, John Ashe of Ashford
(from 1701-1735) and to James Clegg of Chapel en le Frith (from 1702-1748). John Ashe is reported to have frequently
preached an occasional lecture at Litton, Tideswell and other
places
(Bagshawe WHG 'The Bagshawes of Ford a Biographical Pedigree' 1886).
James Clegg stated in his diary on the 16 September 1729 " I preachd a lecture at Litton near Tiddswal' and on the 11 January 1739 " set out for Litton, preachd there from Psal 146 - Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help whose hope is in the Lord his God, spent the evning at Mrs Halls and Mr Kelsals
('Diary of James Clegg of Chapel en le Frith' Edited by Vanessa Doe and Published by the Derbyshire record Society in 1978).
Christ Church (C of E)
Services at 11am on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month
was built in the late 1920's with funds donated by Miss Penfold of Sterndale House. The church is also known as Christ Church and was officially opened by the Bishop of Derby, Dr E.C. Pearce in 1928.
Christ church is located on the edge of the village on the road to Tideswell. It is not quite parallel to the road, as it was built pointing east to west with the alter at the east end. There is a cross in the churchyard bearing the inscription 'Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?'
Prior to 1928, villagers of the Anglican faith met in Litton School for Sunday service. The School was built in 1869 and was also used as a library.
