Sheffield Cathedral
The city's oldest building still in use, with 900 years of architecture under one roof.
There has been a church on this spot since the twelfth century. What stands today layers medieval stonework, Tudor chapels and a striking mid-twentieth-century lantern tower with modern stained glass, all in the middle of the city's tram network.
The Shrewsbury Chapel holds the tombs of the Earls of Shrewsbury, one of whom was the keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots during her imprisonment in Sheffield. Entry is free and visitors are welcome outside service times.
