By 1868 the church sought independence from Holy Trinity, and the church was enlarged by Thomas Chambers Hine.

John Jackson the Bishop of Lincoln consecrated the new church on 26 November 1868 as St. Stephen's, Bunker's Hill.

[2] A detailed history of the church can be found on the Southwell and Nottingham DAC Church History Website.

The organ was moved to St. Stephen's Church in Hyson Green.

The location of the church is now covered by the Victoria Centre, which replaced Nottingham Victoria railway station.
