All Saints' Church, Sheffield, 1869. 'Our Engraving gives a view of All Saints' Church, erected by... Sir John Brown, founder and proprietor of the great Atlas Steel and Iron Works at Sheffield...at a cost of £10,000, including his gift of the site. The building is cruciform in plan, with tower and spire at the west end. It is designed in a bold and massive style, suitable to the neighbourhood, and is large in all its details and proportions. The height of the spire is 190ft., being about 10 ft. more than that of the old parish church, and forms in its commanding position a very conspicuous feature in the locality. The extreme internal dimensions of the church are 109 ft. 6 in. long by 76 ft. wide in the transepts, and 56 ft. in the nave and aisles. The height of the nave to the ridge is 56 ft. This church will seat 720 adults and 259 children, the latter sittings being in small galleries in the tower and transepts, approached by distinct entrances...The architects are Messrs. Flockton and Abbott, of Sheffield'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
