St Marie's RC Cathedral
Norfolk Row, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S1 2JB
Enter this lovely church and admire the graceful arches along the nave, the richly decorated Sanctuary and the many symbolic carvings. The East window dedicated to Mary the Mother of God, as is the church, fills the whole of the east wall and has an interesting history of being removed during the Second World War and stored down a mine. Similar windows tell about the restoration of Catholicism after the Reformation. Despite internal reordering the building itself has changed little.
The church has an impressive square tower and spire, with a peak of nine bells. One of few Catholic churches capable of ringing the changes.
This is a much loved and used place of worship. Visitors are welcomed to admire the Victorian architecture and decorations, between Mass times.
