St. Augustine's Church

Brocco Bank, Endcliffe, Sheffield

St. Augustine’s is the Parish Church for the 7500 people who live in the roads off Ecclesall Road and around Endcliffe Park. They are a wide mixture of families with young children, long established residents and a transient population of students from both Universities.

Others from outside the parish join us, seeking a friendly congregation and dignified worship with a high standard of music.

Our Church History...

The Parish of St. Augustine was created at the end of the nineteenth century to provide for the residents of the new estates springing up along Ecclesall Road and around Endcliffe Park. This area was largely in the parish of St Mark’s Broomhill, whose Vicar was Archdeacon William Fisher Favell. He led the campaign to purchase a quarry site on Brocco Bank and to raise the £10,000 needed to build the church. Fund raising started in January 1896, building began in July 1897 and the church was opened in December 1898. The Keates organ was installed in 1900, costing £891.
The architect was J.D.Webster, and the building is typical of his Early English Style, but unusual to have the 35m high tower. It has a high and rather severe interior, relieved by the Kempe Stained glass.
