Background of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Ji The Gurdwara…read morebuilding was originally a church, but was bought and transformed into a Gurdwara in 1969. The Gurdwara was named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji. At the time, the Gurdwara was one of the biggest in the UK. The Sangat (congregation) grew very rapidly as this was one of only 2 Gurdwaras in Bradford. The Hall was often full to capacity between 1975 and 1978; and a lot of good work was undertaken with children many becoming proficient in reading Gurbani (the Sikh scriptures). Punjabi language classes were taught 7 days a week and school numbers exceeded 100 at the weekends. Akhand Paaths (48 hour, non-stop recitation of the Sikh scripture) and Gurpurbs (birthdays of the Gurus) were particularly well attended with many families staying overnight during Akhand Paats. An arson attack in 1986 resulted in the main Divaan (prayer) hall being destroyed. Once the building was repaired, via the donations and hard work of the congregation, the Gurdwara was re-opened to all. http://www.plumberyorkshire.co.uk/pages/plumber_in.php?plumber_in=Bradford

A very friendly church in the North Yorkshire market town of Selby…read more Tucked away off a side-road, the building is a fairly traditional one; it's quite large, and so can just about be seen from Selby's main High Street. The church also has a good-sized Church Hall next door. The church itself is an evangelical one, with an emphasis on the Bible and fairly 'low' worship. If you prefer incense and bells, Selby Abbey may well be a better bet! The congregation are a very welcoming group of people (or at least, they were when I last went to a service a number of years ago) with a good mix of children, families and older folk. All in all, a warm, friendly community with whom to worship.

St Peter's Church is believed to be the oldest building in South Yorkshire. It's a practicing…read moreChurch of England Church and has 3 services on a Sunday. 09:30 - Parish Eucharist. 11:15 - Family service and 18:30 - Evening Praise and worship. It is situated in the heart of Conisbrough and is also a popular tourist attraction. The church itself is stunning. The graves that surround the church are all very old and seeped in history. There was an unfortunate act of vandalism quite recently which saw the stained glass window smashed in parts, which was heart breaking as some of the glass in that stained glass window was dated to medieval times. St Peter's church is one of 3 main churches in Conisbrough and whilst they all have their own members and services they also often work together under the Churches together banner. St Peter's church also runs a toddler group 9-11 on a Thursday morning in their Church hall (alpha room). There is also a youth group on a Friday called the J team at 6pm, which offers 5-11 year olds an hour to do various arts/crafts and stories. If anyone ever comes to visit Conisbrough Castle, it is well worth including St Peter's church in your visit.

Sheffield Cathedral is located right in the heart of the city, it has such prominence that it is…read moreprobably one of the only places I've found and visited in the city centre to have over ten reviews. It is served by Cathedral Supertram stop, which is one of three stations on the whole network to serve all the tram lines, it is within walking distance of The Moor, Orchard Square, Fargate etc. This makes it a rather cool place to mark my 2300th Yelp review. The site has been home to many Catholic symbols, churches and places of worship since the 12th century to as far as 1966, so the process of this historic, the cathedral has developed over so many years, it does, however, seem slightly more modern than other cathedrals, and not in a good way, it lacks the old, beautiful infrastructure compared to other Cathedrals, which makes it less impressive compared to Westminster and York's alternatives for examples, but still for sure doesn't make it unimpressive. It is a Grade I listed building, one of five in the city of Sheffield which includes the town hall. More information to make this a historic site could be used after all this has been home to worship for over 1000 years which is an impressive feet not reached by most. Although it isn't up there with the most beautiful and impressive Cathedrals of the UK, it still is a nice, historic building right in the centre of Sheffield, making it one of the nicer views on the entire Supertram network as well. 3* - Pretty much average but an asset for a small city like South Yorkshire's Sheffield.

One of the lesser English cathedrals…read more On my journeys in Britain I have been to many impressive cathedrals: Liverpool (old and new), Norwich, Colchester, Worcester, York, Leeds (Minster), Peterborough (very different), Gloucester - you name them. My possible favorite is the mighty, beautiful Ely Cathedral. Sheffield Cathedral, frankly, does not compare - architecturally (its tacked-on modern part doesn't help much), nor in terms of the art and church objects inside. It is rather plain. Not ugly, but plain. Small-ish, too. And comparatively "naked". If you're in the city for a day's visit you might want to pop in anyway. But it wouldn't be worth the travel just for the sake of this building. Unless of course you're there for some religious event or concert.

The town center is easy to walk. The main street, the shopping centre and the Abbey. All in short distance. The church is one of the relatively few surviving abbey churches of the medieval period. And it's not a cathedral actually. But it is one of the largest. It was founded by Benedict of Auxerre[3] in 1069 and subsequently built by the de Lacy family. As the York Minster, this Abbey too was hit by a fire. In 1906. And in 2002 it underwent a big restoration, costing several million pounds. Now the Abbey is standing there in all its glory. Almost 1000 years of history looking at you! A really impressive piece of history and architecture. Walked around it first to see all the details and to explore the grounds. Inside the Abbey is equally impressive. Even a shop, a café and toilets are located inside. Which was a bit unusual. Be sure to check out the impressive organ and the Washington Window. Selby was a pleasant surprise, a wonderful town. And the heart and centerpiece is the amazing Abbey. Definitely a must-do when in the area. It's surprising how few visitors have found their way here, we've seen only a handful.

Selby Abbey is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin and St Germain. Being build by a Norman family one expects the tower to be Norman, but the eastern end is decorated in a Gothic style, and the west front a mixture of Norman, Gothic and Victorian. Like many Abbey's and Minsters, Selby Abbey boasts it own colourful past. Particularly damaged during the 17th century and then the great fire of 1906, the Abbey now finds its self benefiting from extensive restoration that ensures its status as one of the most impressive abbey's in the country. I would recommend the inspiring atmosphere, the beautiful stain glass and architecture and the quite daunting climb up the tower if you are brave enough!

Wakefield Cathedral is a beautiful building and celebrated for having the tallest spire in…read moreYorkshire (247 feet). Its interior is famous due to the mice carved into the pews by their maker Robert Thompson. The cathedral's windows used to be very beautiful stained glass: some of these still remain, but some have been replaced with modern glass due to lowlifes and worthless idiots who have smashed some of the original windows. If you visit the Cathedral, it has a very peaceful and restful interior, ideal for prayer and contemplation. There is also a small chapel leading off, suitable for semi-private prayer. Formerly the building was surrounded by rather beautiful rosebushes and gravestones but these have been removed in recent years. The bookshop in one corner offers a wide range of mementoes, books, bookmarks etc. The building used to be open most of the time but now has more restricted opening hours, sadly.
