St Philip's Church, Pennyfoot Street

St. Philip's Church, Nottingham was a Church of England church in Nottingham on Pennyfoot Street between 1879 and 1963.

History

St. Philip's Church was created out of the parish of St. Luke's Church, Nottingham. It was designed by Richard Charles Sutton as a memorial to Thomas Adams, the Lace Manufacturer. 
 
In May 1876 the promoters of the church made an application to the Incorporated Church Building Society for a contribution to the construction costs. It was built in the 14th Century Gothic style, with 616 seats and the cost of building was £7,750 (equivalent to £ in ),. The church was consecrated on 18 November 1879. 
 
In 1924, St. Luke's and St. Philip's became a united benefice. St. Luke's was demolished but St. Philip's survived until 1963 when it too was demolished. The congregation moved to St. Christopher's Church, Sneinton.
