According to Canon Keith Farrow, walking into the main room of Sheffield Cathedral is an experience every Sheffielder should have.
The proud seat of the Bishop of Sheffield, it is the oldest building of continuous use in the city, where prayer has happened nearly every day for 1,000 years.
Here, Keith takes us on an audio tour of his ‘office,’ introducing the tombs of the Shrewsbury Earls, dating back to the 1400s, the atmospheric Crypt Chapel of All Saints, and revealing details of the foundations of an extension, lying under Cathedral Square, that were abandoned after the Second World War.
