More about this scene

This photograph was taken from All Saints' Church, itself one of the finest examples of Perpendicular architecture in Yorkshire. In the background is the Old College Hotel, a name that echoes back to the founding of the College of Jesus by the Archbishop of York in 1500. For a few brief years Rotherham became a centre of learning, until the college was closed during the Dissolution.
