Opened in 1936, he church was designed by the architect C. M. Hadfield (of Hadfield & Son) and was constructed from specially made thin red bricks with an unusual surface texture. The external brickwork facing is unusual in that it employs Monk bond coursing which is rarely used. Sacred Heart has been called "one of the best interwar churches in Sheffield".
