St Michaels Cemetery Chapel

St Michael's Cemetery Chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel located in Sheffield, built between 1877 and 1878 by Charles Hadfield. It was funded by GH Foster, whose monument is situated outside the west door. The chapel is constructed from coursed squared stone (Greenmoor) with ashlar dressings (Worrall) and features a plain tile roof, showcasing a Gothic Revival style.

The building has a nave with an apsidal east end, a south-west porch, and a north-west vestry. The exterior includes a chamfered plinth, a sill band, quoins, and coped gables on both the nave and the porch. The five-bay nave features four single lancets on each side and three in the apse. The west gable displays a moulded and gabled door, above which is a two-light pointed arch window with trefoil tracery, flanked by prominent buttresses that support a chamfered, gabled single bellcote. The porch has a pointed doorway with a hoodmould, and above it is a niche containing a figure of St Michael. The vestry includes a two-light pointed arch window in its gable and a side wall stack with double round shafts.

Inside, the chapel features a wagon roof with a moulded wall plate and chamfered doorways. The east end has a polished marble sanctuary wall and altar, which includes an alabaster figure of the dead Christ below the mensa, designed by Hadfield and sculpted by RL Bouton of Cheltenham. The east end glazing, created in 1878, was designed by JF Bentley and executed by Lavers, Barrand & Westlake. Additional decorative elements, including the rood, west window, and chancel paintings, were completed by NHJ Westlake in 1884. The Stations of the Cross were also designed by Hadfield and Bouton. GH Foster contributed to the chapel's fittings as well.
