Bishops' House

In 1886 ownership passed to the Corporation (Sheffield City Council) and various recreation department employees lived in the house until 1974.

[4] It is a Grade II* listed building[2] and has been open as a museum since 1976, following a renovation funded by English Heritage and Sheffield City Council.

The Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust managed the building for some years until April 2011, when management of public opening, on behalf of the building's owner Sheffield City Council, was conferred to the Friends of Bishops' House.

The Friends of Bishops' House is a registered charity and limited company, run entirely by volunteers.

The building is featured on the cover of local band Monkey Swallows the Universe's second album The Casket Letters.
