Fulwood Old Chapel

Fulwood Old Chapel is an early 18th-century chapel in Sheffield built with carefully fitted stone walls and decorated mullioned windows. The building has thick stone construction and was expanded over time with modern facilities including a kitchen and restrooms.

The chapel was built from 1728 to 1729 with funds provided by believer William Ronksley and initially served as a gathering place for English Protestants who had separated from the established church. Over two centuries it remained an important place for this religious community in the Sheffield region.

The chapel reflects the architecture of a Dissenter meetinghouse and shows how a Protestant community gathered here over centuries. The interior displays the simplicity and directness typical of Unitarian worship.

The building has level surfaces at entrances and pathways that make it easy to access, and sits in a quiet village near Sheffield. Visitors should be aware it is an active meetinghouse and visits are best planned by arrangement.

Wooden village stocks from the 19th century stand in front of the building after being moved during road widening work in 1929. These structures are themselves listed monuments and offer a glimpse into the former justice practices of the village community.
