Bishops’ House is regarded as Sheffield’s best-preserved timber-framed house.

The half-timbered house in the Norton Lees neighbourhood, around 4km (2½ miles) south of the city centre, was built around 1500 for two brothers who both went on to become bishops. The house has been restored and decorated in the Jacobean style and it is now open to the public to show how people would have lived during the 16th and 17th centuries.
