Sheffield Cathedral

We visited Sheffield Cathedral on Thursday to try and find a stain glass window depicting the owners of Sheffield Castle; from the Saxon Earl Waltheof to the Earls of Talbot. We let Rob out of sight for two minutes and turned round to find him behind the public barrier getting a private tour from one of the Cathedral's historians.
Good news is that these tours are free, the woman who gives them is full of knowledge on Sheffield's past, especially during the Tudor and Stuart periods and will tell you far more than just the history of the Cathedral.
Despite the odd modern add-on, the Cathedral itself is stunning on the inside, so it's well worth a look if you're going past -or want somewhere new to visit. The history ranges from the early church (the outline of which is still visible on the walls) up to the modern extension with the coloured glass dome, so there's something for everyone. Will definitely be going back sometime soon.
