| AdminHistory | The parish of St John the Baptist, Owlerton, was formed out of St Philip's (Infirmary Road, Sheffield) and became a separate parish in 1876. The church, designed by J. B. Mitchell-Withers, was consecrated on 29th July 1874.
The Sheffield Barracks on Langsett Road, Hillsborough, fell within the parish, hence this collection includes a register of baptisms performed in the Military Chapel of the barracks. Both this Military Chapel register and the general series of registers for St John include entries for soldiers and their families.
The church of St John the Baptist, Owlerton, is situated on Penistone Road and is in the Deanery of Hallam. |
