Medieval parish church of Sheffield
The much altered and enlarged medieval parish church of Sheffield stands in central Sheffield on Church Street. It was originally a chapel of ease of the parish of Ecclesfield, but became a parish church in its own right before the sixteenth century. The church is dedicated to St Peter & St Paul. It is at this church that most of the residents of the town were baptised, married and buried before the nineteenth century. When Sheffield was created as a diocese, in 1914, this parish church became the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of Sheffield. The registers of the old parish church begin in 1560.
