- Bishops'_House abstract "Bishops' House is a half-timbered house in the Norton Lees district of the City of Sheffield, England. It was built c. 1500 and is located at 53°21′5″N 1°28′13″W, on the southern tip of Meersbrook Park. It is one of the three surviving timber-framed houses in the city (the others being the Old Queen's Head and Broom Hall).It is known as Bishops' House because it was said to have been built for two brothers, John and Geoffrey Blythe, both of whom became Bishops. There is, however, no evidence that they ever lived in this house—the first known resident being William Blythe, a farmer and scythe manufacturer, who was living here in 1627.Samuel Blyth was the last of the family to live in the house, dying in 1753, after which his sons sold the house to a William Shore. The Blyth family subsequently moved to Birmingham. Notable descendents were Benjamin Blyth, Sir Arthur Blyth and Benjamin Blyth II. The house was subsequently let to a tenant farmer and his labourer, at which point the house was sub-divided into two dwellings.In 1886 ownership passed to the Corporation (Sheffield City Council) and various recreation department employees lived in the house until 1974.It is a Grade II* listed building and has been open as a museum since 1976. The Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust, managed the building for some years until April 2011, when management was passed back to Sheffield City Council. Museums Sheffield continue to manage educational visits during term time, but management of public opening of the house was conferred to a voluntary organisation, Friends of Bishops House, in spring 2011. The house contains exhibitions on life in the 16th and 17th centuries with two rooms decorated in Jacobean Style.The building is featured on the cover of local band, Monkey Swallows the Universe's second album The Casket Letters.".
