| AdminHistory | The parish of All Saints, Brightside was created out of the parish of St Thomas, Brightside in 1869, when the church (financed by Sir John Brown) was opened by licence.
Services were also held at All Saints Mission Room, Forncett Street, from 1929 and at All Saints Institute, Grimesthorpe Road after the church was closed.
The benefice was suspended in 1972 and the parish became a chapelry under the care of St Cuthbert, Firvale. In April 1976 the church was declared redundant. The church was demolished in 1978, but in 1980 the new church of Ellesmere, St Peter (shared Anglican/Methodist) was dedicated and the benefice was united with that of Christ Church, Pitsmoor.
The church was located on Ellsemere Road and was in the Ecclesfield deanery. |
