St Paul's Church, Wordsworth Avenue

St Paul's Church is situated within the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, in the suburb of Parson Cross on Wordsworth Avenue.

St Paul's is a modern looking post war church which has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.

[1] St Paul's was opened in 1959 to serve the New Parson Cross estate which had been constructed on previous greenfield land in the late 1940s as the City of Sheffield cleared its slum housing and expanded into the countryside.

The church is basically two brick walls joined by a shallow barrel vault roof strengthened by diagonal steel bracing.

While the altar is screened to give it some privacy from the big end window by a hardwood panel made from African Teak.
