EDITORS COMMENTS
Christ Church, Pitsmoor, Sheffield, 1850: A Glimpse into Victorian Neo-Gothic Architecture This print depicts the newly consecrated Christ Church in Pitsmoor, Sheffield, as it stood in 1850. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the early decorated period of Gothic architecture that defines this beautiful place of worship. Despite the limited funds available to the architects, Messrs. Flockton and Son of Sheffield, they managed to create a pleasing outline and secure a complete ecclesiastical character for the church. The church boasts an impressive seating capacity of 118 adults and 224 children, with only 266 seats not being free. The cost of the building came in just under the architects' estimate of £2000. The consecration ceremony took place on a Thursday in 1850, with the sermon delivered by the Archbishop of York. This print, a testament to the Gothic Revival of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the architectural and religious landscape of Britain during this period. The intricately designed windows and pointed arches, typical of the Gothic style, create an enchanting exterior that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
