Building began in 1629 and it had its first service on the 10th October 1630 as a chapel of ease to the Parish Church of Sheffield (now the Cathedral).

In 1649 parliamentary commissioners recommend that Hill Top Chapel should become the parish church of Attercliffe with a serving congregation of an estimate 250 families.

From 1779 - 1795 starting at the East end, North and finally the West end galleries were constructed and pews added. This seating was rented out to the wealthier parishioners and the rents returned to the chapel. With these additions the chapel could accommodate 578 worshiping.

By 1822 the population of Attercliffe had grown to such a size that the chapel was no longer large enough and a new church was built (Christ Church, destroyed in 1940 by bombing).

The chapel was soon overshadowed by the new church and by 1837 substantial alteration were made which reduced the size of the building to its present structural shape. The decline however continued and it was declared redundant in 1985.

With the World Student Games and the anticipated house building as part of the regeneration of Attercliffe the chapel was restored and reopened, however to this day there remains little or no local community for the chapel to serve.

Instead in 2002 the Chapel became home to The Nine O'clock Community which closed down in October 2009.

In 2010 the Chapel was returned to its former parish to be used as a place of prayer, for day retreats, the occasional offices,and for RE and local history studies by local schools.
