St George's Church, Portobello, Gothic Revival church in Sheffield city centre, England
St George's Church features a tall 140-foot tower, flat-ceilinged nave with six bays, and a single-bay chancel in Perpendicular Gothic style.
The foundation stone was laid in July 1821, and Archbishop Vernon Harcourt consecrated this first Commissioners' church of Sheffield on June 29, 1825.
After serving the Anglican community for over 150 years, the church transformed into an educational space within the University of Sheffield in 1994.
The building contains lecture facilities and student housing, maintaining its Grade II listed status while serving modern educational requirements.
The church tower houses a breeding pair of peregrine falcons, monitored through a university-installed live stream webcam system.
