St Pauls Church, Norfolk Street. - St Paul's Curch East Bank Road
St Paul's is an ecclesiatical parish formed
3rd July 1848. The church situated in Norfolk Street was built in 1720 but
owing to a dispute between the vicar of Sheffield and the principle donor,
as to the right of presentation, it was not opened until 1740. It is a building
of stone in the Italian style consisting of apsidal chancel, nave, aisles
and a western tower containing an illuminated clock and one bell. The church
was restored in 1871 by subscription at a cost of £2,600 and the organ,
originally by Snetzler, rebuilt. Ther are sittings for 1,500 of which 500
are free. The register dates from the year 1740. This district includes both
sides of Pond Street, from Boardmans Bridge to Harmer Lane, and the gardens
between the Porter and the Sheaf. From Harmer Lane its boundary extends along
the west side of Pond Street to the end of Flat Street and thence by the south
side of Norfolk Street, up Norfolk Row, Fargate and Barkers Pool, down the
eastern side of Cambridge Street and Furnival Street, to the confluence of
the Sheaf and Porter.
