Sheffield St. Amry Broomhill
About our ParishThe parish of Broomhill & Broomhall has changed considerably in area and population size. With the closure of the neighbouring St George’s Church, in the 1970s, the parish boundaries were slightly amended around the university area and many members of that congregation came to worship at St Mark’s. In the year 2000, the decision was taken by the diocese to close the neighbouring St Silas Broomhall. Our present parish, therefore, encompasses a large geographical area stretching from our borders in the leafy suburbs of Ranmoor to the city ring road.
St Mark’s Broomhill, Sheffield, was built in the mid nineteenth century to serve those (mostly gentry class) of Broomhall and those who lived in the Victorian splendour of Broomhill, suburbs about one mile west of the city centre. The expansion of the suburb, the establishment of the University, the building of the hospitals changed the area considerably and now the church serves one of the most educated and vibrant suburban populations in Sheffield.
Amongst this university and medical population live many people from different parts of the world. Alongside very attractive and expensive housing, there are pockets of poverty and deprivation in the Broomhill area and across much of Broomhall, which is UPA designated.
The church is deeply engaged with the communities of Broomhill and Broomhall.
