It is now part of the University of Sheffield and is a lecture theatre and student housing.

The foundation stone was laid on 19 July 1821,[4] and the church was consecrated by Archbishop Vernon Harcourt on 29 June 1825.

It stood unused for a number of years until the University of Sheffield acquired it and in 1994 had it converted into a lecture theatre and student accommodation.

[5] Prior to this, it had been the last of the Commissioners' churches in Sheffield to retain its original form.

[6] In 2010 a nest-box was placed on the church rooftop, which is now home to a breeding pair of peregrine falcons that can be seen via live stream webcam.
