A Look Back in Time

St Stephen's Church was built to replace an older church called St Stephen's Church, Bunker's Hill. The new church was officially opened and blessed in 1898 by George Ridding, who was the Bishop of Southwell at the time.

A few years later, in 1902, a mission room and school were added. These were designed by an architect named Hedley John Price.

In 1987, St Stephen's Church joined with another local church, St Paul's Church, Hyson Green. They became one combined parish, known as Hyson Green St Paul’s and St Stephen’s.

This plaque inside St Stephen's Church talks about the money received for the old church at Bunker's Hill.
