Bishops' House is the best example of a timber framed house in Sheffield. It was once a farm surrounded by fields. It was built at the end of the 15th.Century, around the time two members of the Blythe family became Bishops. In 1886 ownership passed to the 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.
