St Paul's Church is situated within the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, in the suburb of Parson Cross on Wordsworth Avenue.
[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.
Spence was working on his most famous design Coventry Cathedral at the same time that he was overseeing the construction of St Paul's.
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.
