Sheffield Cathedral a religious stronghold

After attaining cathedral status in 1914, the Sheffield Cathedral received the honor of being listed as one of the grade 1 buildings of the city. The Sheffield Cathedral shares this honor with four other constructs who are equally worthy of this title. The Town, Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet and the Ecclesfield and Bradfield parish churches are the other buildings that belong to the grade 1 category. Located on Church Street, the Sheffield Cathedral is just one of those landmarks of this city that you have to take a moment to admire.

This Gothic style structure belongs to the Church of England and is said to have even housed the Sheffield Cross of the 9^th century for a certain length of time. First constructed as the very first parish church of Sheffield, was burnt to the ground during the Second Barons’ War. While the present day version of the Sheffield Cathedral is truly breathtaking, some of its earlier forms have had to withstand many testing times through the years.

Wandering in through the wide open doors of this holy building you will find that the granite walls and the dark wooden pews creates a warmth within you that calms you down right away and puts you in a relaxed mood where spiritual serenity is easily achieved. Looking around one can also catch a glimpse of the colorfully painted window glasses that tell the tale of ancient Christian stories. The great attention to detail that has been given to the religious sculptures of this cathedral are also worth taking a look at.

Devoted local and foreign Christians alike walk in through the doorway of this cathedral daily to worship God and to pray for their loved ones who are in need of help or guidance. The Sheffield Cathedral Choir was formed here and is a part of the masses held in the cathedral. This choir has been the breeding ground of many local musicians and composers over the years.
