St Mary's Church - Market Place - Website
St Mary's Church dates back to around the year 1200, but little is left from this period apart from the 3 East piers
between the nave and the South aisle. The nave was doubled in length when the church was enlarged in 1909-10 by P. H.
Currey, and the tower was rebuilt in a new position. It contains a rare and remarkable early 14th century stone screen.
There is a well preserved effigy of a cross-legged knight, presumed to be that of Nicholas de Cantelupe, who died in 1272.
The Cantelupes were lords of the manor in the 13th century.
Ilkeston Christian Centre, Ilkeston - Website
We are a lively fun-filled church that is passionate about Jesus and the lost. Our building serves not only a Sunday service
and Junior Church, but also mid-week activities including a thriving Parent and Toddler group, weekly Senior Citizen lunches,
many exciting youth activities and more! Our church is made up of many people from differing ages and backgrounds.
We believe in releasing people to fulfil their God-given potential. We run Equipping Nights to help people realise their
giftings and use them within the life of the church. House groups offer the opportunity to grow in God and in relationship
with each other. We work with other churches in the town on community projects, outreach events and quarterly celebrations.

Nottingham Road Methodist Church - Ilkeston Website
Nottingham Road
Methodist - junction of Nottingham Road and Little Hallam
Lane.
Stemming from the need for a place of worship for migrant families
from
Staffordshire, whose men folk worked at Trowell Forge, the
church began in 1875 with the purchase of four cottages on the
site of the present church, one of which was used for public
worship.
In 1884 the first purpose built church was opened, built in the
gardens of the four cottages. In 1897 work began to increase the
capacity of the church. This extension work necessitated the
demolition of the two cottages which fronted onto Nottingham Road.
In 1959 a new church was added to the old school rooms.
