A popular illustrated talk by the author of Sheffield Cathedral's guidebook which looks at how Sheffield has developed from Saxon times up to the present day, and how the city's history can be traced within the walls of its cathedral, if you know where to look.
Through the building's architecture and stained glass you will discover hidden stories from medieval, Tudor and Victorian times, and meet people who have shaped Sheffield's history such as the Earls of Shrewsbury, Bess of Hardwick, Mary Queen of Scots and many more.
Discover how the building grew from medieval parish church to 21st century cathedral, and see if you can solve the mystery of the Shrewsbury vault's missing earls!
