Banner Cross Methodist Church

Banner Cross Methodist Church is a Protestant house of worship in Sheffield built from coursed stone with red brick accents throughout. The building contains a nave, chancel, west tower, porch, and additional rooms for religious and community use.

The main building was constructed in 1929 by architect WJ Hale in Free Gothic Revival style. An adjacent schoolroom building dates from 1907 and was designed by George Baines & Son.

The church serves as a meeting place for the local Methodist community and neighborhood residents. It functions as a social hub where people gather for worship and community events throughout the week.

The church is located southwest of Sheffield city center along Ecclesall Road South and is easily accessible by car or public transport. Visitors should check ahead for worship times and event schedules to ensure the building is open for visits.

During World War II the church played an important role in serving the local community by adapting its spaces for public use. A vestry room was converted into a library and the schoolroom became a rest centre for neighborhood residents.
