jiginc Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Spooky, I saw this church last Friday and was going to post a what church question, only thing I can add is that it looks disused. Not covered by our current OS maps Multimap View In the mid to late 60's I used to work in an office next door to this church and it looked empty then. It would be interesting to find out what it was/is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gramps Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 According to a 1925 directrory it was the Catholic Apostolic Church, - standing, at that time, between number 32 A. Beardshaw & Co. Silversmiths, and number 36 the home of Frederick Stanley, insurance district manager.

Guest plain talker Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It is now the "Church of the Nazarene", which are not Roman Catholic. They've been there in that building at least 20 years, that I know of. The "Nazarenes" have at least three churches in the Sheffield area that I can name :- The one on Victoria Street, there's one at Heeley, in the old "Heeley St Peters" near Heeley Green, and one at the top end of Norfolk Park, in the former Captive Queen pub building.

But a moderator can, same applies to removing an image you need to ask a moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aimeelouise Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I will reverse my actions then It is now known as the Church of the Nazarene, this is what it is known as on recent maps, older maps name it as Catholic Apostolic Church. It is now derelict and owned by the university. It was planned to be turned into practice rooms, however it wasn't acoustically viable so the adjacent SoundHouse was built for this purpose instead. There current plans are to turn it into a performance space however nothing is being done with it in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthBoy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 More info on the music project is available on this link: http://home4musicinsheffield.blogspot.com/ There are a couple of photos of the inside of the building. In the Catholic Apostolic Church, congregations were led by Angels, who were the equivalent of bishops in mainstream churches. In one of these photos you can see an ornate wooden canopy, just inside the chancel arch on the left. I believe this was very likely the Angel's throne.
