I am not sure of the actual opening date but it was sometime in the early 1700s and was only pulled down in the 1930s. It was very close to St. Peter's [now the Cathedral] and only a few minutes walk away on Pinfold Street. I think the records are at the Sheffield Record Office.

Hello Judy & List, With regard to Judy's snippet below. St. Paul's Church, Norfolk Street was erected by public subscription and commenced in 1719 but was not actually opened until 22nd May 1740 when it was made a chapel of ease to the Parish Church (St. Peter's - now the Cathedral). The church was demolished in 1938.
