古迹

St George's Church, Portobello was a Church of England church in the City of Sheffield, England. It is now part of the University of Sheffield and functions as a lecture theatre and student housing.
St George's was the first of three churches to be built in Sheffield under the so-called Million Pound Act of 1818 (The other two being St Mary's Church, Bramall Lane and St Phillip's Church, Netherthorpe). The church was designed by Woodhead & Hurst and cost £15,181. It was built in the perpendicular style, 122 feet long and 67 feet wide—consisting of a flat-ceilinged nave with six bays, a single bay chancel, and a 140 foot high tower. Galleries extended the length of the north and south walls, and there was a two-tiered gallery on the west wall. In all, the church could seat 2000 people. The foundation stone was laid on 19 July 1821, and the church was consecrated by Archbishop Vernon Harcourt on 29 June 1825.
The church closed in 1981 and was unused for a number of years. It was acquired by the University of Sheffield, and in 1994 it was converted for use as a lecture theatre and student accommodation.Prior to this it had been the last of the Million Pound Churches in Sheffield to retain its original form. It is a Grade II listed building.
