Upper Chapel

Upper Chapel is a chapel building in Sheffield city centre featuring 18th-century design with traditional architectural details throughout its structure. The interior displays pointed arch windows, ornamental stonework, and stained glass arranged in a symmetrical composition.

The chapel was built in 1700 to serve the growing Unitarian movement in Sheffield following the English Civil War period. Its construction reflects the religious changes that shaped many communities across England at that time.
