Attercliffe Chapel, Gothic chapel in Attercliffe, England.
Attercliffe Chapel is a Gothic church building located on the southern bank of the River Don within Sheffield's industrial district. The structure stands amid a historic cemetery and holds Grade II listed status to protect its architectural heritage.
The chapel was built in 1629 when Attercliffe was still an independent township and received its consecration on February 24, 1630. The building underwent substantial reconstruction in 1909 to adapt to changing needs.
The chapel occupies a place within Sheffield's industrial landscape and holds the graves of significant figures including Benjamin Huntsman, inventor of crucible steel, and William Staniforth, a respected local surgeon. These burials reflect the building's role as a final resting place for people who shaped the region's development.
The building holds Grade II listed status, meaning any modifications or repairs require official approval to maintain its protected heritage. Visitors should approach with respect and check current conditions before planning a visit.
The exterior of the chapel appeared in the 1984 music video for the song Sensoria by Cabaret Voltaire. This film appearance has given the building an unexpected place in modern music history.
