St. Cyprian'S Church, Sneinton

St Cyprian's Church, Sneinton is a parish church in the Church of England in Sneinton, Nottingham. HistoryThe church was built in 1935 by the architect C. E. Howitt. Construction work started in 1934 and the building was consecrated by Henry Mosley, the Bishop of Southwell on 15 May 1935. The estimated cost was £8, 500, most of which came from the Diocese of Southwell from the sale of the site of the former St. Paul's Church, George Street, Nottingham. The church is Anglo-Catholic and has passed Resolutions A B and C of the Act of Synod and is under the Episcopal care of the Bishop of Beverley. Medieval fontThe font is the oldest item in the church. It is believed to be 13th or 14th Century and was found in a field between Gedling and Shelford. At the time of its discovery it was in use as a horse trough; the damage on the rim of the font is attributed to contact with the horses’ tack. The font’s original location is thought to have been Saxondale chapel, which was part of Shelford Priory. The chapel was demolished in the 15th Century. When found it found a home in St Michael and All Angels, Foxhall Road (no longer standing). From there it was moved to St Cyprian’s old church, and finally to the new building.
