Sheffield Cathedral, UK, the oldest building in Sheffield still in daily use, will host Peter Marlow: The English Cathedral, the next stage of an ambitious tour of works by the late Magnum photographer, Peter Marlow. This free photographic exhibition chronicling all 42 naves of England’s Anglican cathedrals, will be on show from 2 June – 1 July 2026 in the North Transept of the Cathedral during general cathedral opening times.
Organised by the Peter Marlow Foundation, the charity set up to continue Peter’s legacy, the aim is that this ethereal collection of images will exhibit at each of the 42 cathedrals he visited on his photographic pilgrimage across England. Sheffield Cathedral is the 28th of the 42 cathedrals to host the exhibition, which is in the 11th year of its ongoing tour. The exhibition, Peter Marlow: The English Cathedral, invites visitors to embark on a visual journey through the lens of Peter Marlow, capturing the essence of the Cathedral in a play of natural light with all modern artificial lighting turned off. Peter’s photographic portrait of Sheffield Cathedral highlights the fascinating architectural hybrid of the building, showcasing over 800 years of design. It blends a medieval parish core with significant Tudor extensions and extensive mid-20th-century modernist additions, most notably its striking Lantern Tower and geometric stained glass which can be seen at the centre of Peter’s image.
