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.

It puzzles me that people visit churches when on holiday in order to soak up the local culture of a…read moreplace, but do not check out the local examples in their home city. Whatever your degree of religious interest, the beauty hiding within Leeds Parish Church is something that needs to be experienced. The main section of the church is breathtakingly aesthetic. When I recently visited it, the sun was dramatically pouring through the beautiful stained glass windows, casting playfully colourful patterns on the stone floor. The intricately carved wooden seating and organ were perfectly framed in the gravitas of the room. Leading off from the main room, is The Lady Chapel. It is much smaller, creating a more intimate space. An elaborate altar sits at the head of the room, a lovely statue to focus on. The softness of the windows contrasts with the jagged edges of the furniture to spectacular effect. The website is updated regularly, providing information on times of services, performances by the choir and other music events. The ethereal beauty of the place evokes such peacefulness, you can't help but feel calm and collected. A wonderful place to contemplate, life, love, the universe, or just what to have for lunch.

Sadly a massive main road reaches nearly its edge and the way the city centre has developed, there isn't much else around it. If I was to redesign Leeds the city would shift sideways a bit so that this beautiful building was more a central feature. It beats the cathedral in terms of beauty and magnificence inside and out. I love the curling gothic details on each spire and the stain glass windows. It is definitely worth walking down this way just for the sake of checking it out sometime.

A few years on and its clear that this church is fully functioning and has an active congregation. There are flowers blooming in the garden area and a sign welcoming people in. This is great as it is such a beautiful building really adding to the traditional cityscape of Leeds with is blackened stone bricks from more industrial times. It lies on the road towards Headingley, a little way out of the city centre. The Ashwood group functions in the church, running music groups and a youth club. I have cycled past a few times on a Friday or Saturday night around midnight to see a few people gathered round a bbq giving out burgers to drunk students passing by. I have seen a similar crew in Headingley and I think they call themselves Jesus's Army, or something similar. Whilst I am not a Christian, I do admire the enthusiasm of the people involved in this church and how they engage with the community - I couldn't refuse a free burger on a Saturday night could I?!

If you are interested in Robin Hood or The Brontes then this is a place to be…read more Hathersage Churchyard is said to be (and has a grave) the Burial place of, Little John, one of Robin Hoods merry Men. he is buried under a yew tree. Yew makes great longbows. The church itself has connections with the Eyre family and Charlotte Bronte stayed here in 1845. The area around is much of the setting for Jane Eyre. She used Hathersage as the 'Norton' of the story 'Jane Eyre' - taking the heroine's surname from the local family. She also used North Lees Hall, an Elizabethan manor house 2km north of Hathersage, as the house where Mrs Rochester jumped from the roof to her death. This is also the gateway to the Peak District and Snake pass great for walking and picnicing. Be aware that much of the landscape looks the same and it is VERY easy to lose your bearings. Take maps, compass, water and walking equipment.

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.
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.
If you are a stranger and drive past this church, you most probably will think; 'What the Hell is…read morethat?' It does look a bit strange as it is a very out-dated building with a huge green dome. But I think that is what gives it its character. Apart from the outside, the church is beautiful inside and large...very large. They have stained glass windows depicting stories from the Bible which are elegantly finished. It is old fashioned inside but it does not feel unmodern. It is different but beautiful. Alongside the church they hold different clubs for children such as Rainbows and Brownies. So if you are new to the area and want your child to join a club where they can learn about God and play games with friends, then contact the church.
We were in York the other day. Were amazed by the York Minster. And came to Selby to check out the…read moreAbbey. But didn't expect it to be so massive, so impressive. 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!
