St Matthew's Church, Sheffield, Gothic revival church in central Sheffield, England
The church features an octagonal tower with tall spire, stained glass windows, and extensive interior furnishings designed by Henry Wilson.
The foundation stone was laid in 1854 and the church was consecrated in 1855 by Archbishop Thomas Musgrave, with construction costing £3,297.
Reverend George Campbell Ommanney served as the third vicar from 1882 to 1936, earning recognition as the 'People's Priest' for his community involvement.
The church received substantial restoration work in 2000 through Heritage Lottery Fund support, including cleaning of historical artifacts affected by industrial residue.
The building survived intact through World War II despite surrounding damage during the Sheffield Blitz of December 1940.
