Modest but noteworthy as the city's best surviving Georgian set-piece. The south and west sides (the latter Paradise Street) were built from 1736. Grade II* listed.
The square was restored, and lent a greater coherence, by Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson & Partners, 1963-66.

Paradise Square, Sheffield.
Apparently Paradise Square was built in the C18th on the site of Hicks' stile-field, the stile being one of the entrances into the cathedral yard. Local historians R. E. Leader and S.O. Addy have speculated that it may be an allusion to the ancient use of Paradise or Parvis as the name for a garden or enclosed space near a church. The first recorded assembly in Paradise Square was on 15 July 1779 when John Wesley preached to what he would later note in his journal was "the largest congregation I ever saw on a weekday”. The Square was also used by the Chartists for a number of meetings, notably on 12 September 1839 when the crowd was dispersed by troops leading to a running battle and a number of arrests.Throughout the C19th century it was traditional for those standing for election to represent the Sheffield constituency in Parliament to hold political meetings here. The Square is surrounded by the offices of legal firms and other business enterprises. All buildings in the Square are Grade II* listed.
