Have you ever wondered what a house would say, if it could talk?
For a house with a history that spans over 520 years I’m sure could tell a story or two.

Bishops House is the best preserved example of a timber-framed house to survive in Sheffield.

At the time of its construction around 1525, England unknowingly was at the beginning of a turbulent era - King Henry VIII had been sitting on the English throne for around 16 years, a powerful monarch who was beginning an infatuation of his wife’s lady in waiting, Anne Boleyn – a love affair that history tells us would turn the Tudor court and the whole of England and Anne herself, on it’s head….

From this moment on Bishops’ house sees it’s fair share of turbulent history.

From the gunpowder plot, the execution of King Charles I, the English civil war and a further 2 world wars. More localised, it is also in this very area that the occupants here would have seen the start of the Sheffield industrial revolution. An occasion that puts it on the map and makes it known famously today as the ‘Steel City’

So, let’s take a step inside and see whether these walls can talk….
