| AdminHistory | The church of St Stephen, Eastwood, was erected in 1874. It was declared redundant in March 1992 and the parish of Eastwood dissolved. In 1997 the church was acquired by Bishop Antony, Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese in Ireland, Scotland and North East England, on behalf of the Coptic congregation, and is now known as St Antony Coptic Orthodox Church.
The church, located on St. Leonard's Road, Eastwood, was in the Rotherham deanery. |
