Sheffield: Hilltop Chapel, Attercliffe
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 13 Mar 2011
This tiny chapel is surrounded by an industrial suburbia and is not easily spotted from the main Attercliffe Road. A plaque on the outside wall of the grounds (the churchyard was firmly locked) states that it was built in 1629 mainly at the expense of the Bright family of Carbrook Hall, and was the sole Anglican church for Attercliffe until 1826. The churchyard contains memorials to many famous Attercliffe residents, including Benjamin Huntsman, inventor of crucible steel. For the view of the chapel from the main road, see Image
