All Saints on Ringinglow Road, Ecclesall. From an old postcard in Anne Paling's Collection. Previously in the Unknown section, this painting of a church interior belongs to Bill Scriven's brother, who didn't know the location. The small window high up to the right of the chancel arch is unusual, as are the niches between the lancets just above the altar. It was identified by Phil Draper. A modern view, © Peter Fowler.

Chapeltown Cemetery on Burncross Road, at Burncross, has two Mortuary Chapels - Anglican at the left, Nonconformist at the right. SK 3470 9630. © David Regan (2022).
The site of the demolished Primitive Methodist Chapel. It's dated here (where there is a photo) to 1865, with demolition in 1992. However, another source says there was a P.M. chapel here of 1851 - whether this was the same building, or a predecessor on the same or on a different site is so far unclear. © David Regan (2022).
Restoration Assembly (Redeemed Christian Church of God) meets in Chapeltown Library on Nether Ley Avenue and Burncross Road. It was seen by Streetview in 2017.

Ecclesfield
Ecclesfield Mission Hall (Pentecostal) on Townend Road. Another view, and an interior view. It's labelled on older maps as Methodist New Connexion. SK 3511 9399. All © Alan Taylor. The latest Streetview (2020) shows that it's now in residential use, as The Old Chapel.
Parts of Ecclesfield Priory survive in Ecclesfield Hall, just to the north of St. Mary, at SK 3530 9429. Nothing is visible of it on Streetview, but its Wikipedia entry has a photo and an old illustration. Grade II* listed.
The former Independent Chapel is so labelled on maps as far back as 1855, and is now a private residence. This source labels it as a Quaker Meeting House, though its appearance is not what one might expect. SK 3508 9395. © Alan Taylor. Another view, © David Regan (2022).
The former Methodist Church on High Street was originally Wesleyan. An old photo is available here, where it's dated to 1898 to the early years of the present century. It also says it had a predecessor of 1818 - a map of 1855 implies it was on the same site, or close to it. SK 3552 9387. © David Regan (2022).
A map of 1923 shows a Primitive Methodist Chapel on Nether Lane, at circa SK 3583 9452. Not indicated on a map of 1906, it was no longer marked as a place of worship in 1951. Later demolished, housing now stands on its site - seen by Streetview in 2021. This source gives dates for its registers for the years 1877-1939, which, if accurate, implies that either the Ordnance Survey was in error in not showing it earlier, or they had another building elsewhere, or the congregation met in a secular building.
St. Mary the Virgin. SK 3530 9422. © Michael Bourne. The altar and window, and screen, both © Kenneth Paver. Two more views - 1, 2, both © David Regan (2022). Link. Grade I listed. The War Memorial in the churchyard is separately listed as grade II.

Grenoside
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wheel Lane. © David Regan (2022).
Two former Primitive Methodist Chapels survive on Main Street. The older one (nearer the camera) pre-dates a map of 1890, the other is of 1904. SK 3312 9409. © David Regan (2022). Link.
St. Mark on Main Street. Wikipedia dates it to 1884. Another view. SK 3319 9394. Both © David Regan (2022). Link.
The present Methodist Church is on Norfolk Hill, and was originally Wesleyan. An old photo can be seen here. SK 3332 9412. © David Regan (2022). Link.
Mention is made here of Grenoside Congregational  Church, but I can't find any trace of it on old maps, or any other on-line references to it. David Regan wonders if it's the same as Ecclesfield Independent Chapel.

Handsworth
City of Refuge Foursquare Church on Handsworth Road. Circa SK 4049 8671. © David Regan (2022). Link.
Grace Church is on Richmond Road and Bramley Lane, and was seen by Streetview in 2019, when it appears to have been named Sheffield Christian Life Centre. SK 4086 8617. Link.
The Methodist Church on Handsworth Road was originally Wesleyan. A Wesleyan Chapel is indicated on this site on a map surveyed no later than 1851. The visible stonework appears to have plenty of age, so does it date back to then? SK 4071 8642. © David Regan (2022). Link.
St. Joseph (R.C.) on St. Joseph's Road. SK 4101 8635. © David Regan (2022). Link. Grade II listed.
St. Mary. Another view. SK 4105 8622. Both © David Regan (2022). Link. Grade II listed. For other listed churchyard features, see here.

High Green
The Methodist Church, originally Wesleyan, is on Wortley Road. It can be dated from this source to no later than 1864. SK 3408 9758. © David Regan (2022). Link.
South-west of the village, at Near Potter Hill, stood a Methodist New Connexion Chapel. Pre-dating a map of 1893, it was still standing in 1929, as United Methodist. A photo of it is available here, where it's dated to 1838. Its site (the grassed area) was seen by Streetview in 2008. SK 3323 9721. This source discusses its predecessor (there is a photo), later used as a Sunday School, which stood across the road, and dates it to 1815-circa 1960.
A Primitive Methodist Chapel used to stand set back from Wortley Road. It's dated here to 1877, and the last available O.S. map to show it, as a church, was published in 1947. A bungalow and its rear garden now stand on the site. SK 3361 9772. © David Regan (2022).
St. Mary (R.C.). SK 3424 9760. © David Regan (2022). Link1. Link2, which has a useful history.
St. Saviour, at Mortomley. Its grade II listing dates it to 1872. SK 3434 9750. © David Regan (2022). Link.
Westwood Rows was a settlement consisting of two rows of housing less than half a mile to the north-east of High Green. All signs of the settlement have gone, replaced by park-land. Two places of worship are recorded. First was a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at SK 3419 9824 - a photo can be seen here. The other was a Mission Church, a tin tabernacle, which can be seen here. It also says that it stood south-east of the top row, so it's perhaps the Sunday School marked on an O.S. map of 1893 at SK 3436 9818.
