Post by: josh jones on Thursday 26 December 19 05:36 GMT (UK)

Trying to find if there are headstone memorials anywhere for this cemetery.  I understand the church no longer exists.  Is Christchurch Attercliffe and Zion Church Attercliffe the same cemetery?  many thx

Through google there is a group called Friends of Zion Cemetery Attercliffe. Perhaps they may have more information?? SheffieldFHS have cemetery records up to1902 for Attercliffe Church. Good luck!

They are not the same church.  Christ Church was Church of England.  It was destroyed in Sheffield Blitz in WW2.  Zion was a non- conformist congregational chapel.  This is the Find a Grave citation for Christ Church https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2437757/christ-church-churchyard
