More about this scene
In January 1898 the Privy Council gave its approval for Sheffield to have its own Bishopric. However, a few months later the Archbishop of York ordered the scheme abandoned on the grounds that 'it would not be desirable to proceed for some years to come'. It was not until March 1914 that Dr Hedley Burrows was invested as the first Bishop of Sheffield, being enthroned at the cathedral on 1st May.
