Heritage Open Day: Explore once forgotten stories of past Sheffield locals on a guided tour of Wardsend Cemetery. Interested in learning more about potential relatives buried at Wardsend? Committee member Hugh Waterhouse will be on hand to help throughout the day. Who took up arms and marched through the night believing the French were invading?
Who wrote letters to Queen Victoria from the Workhouse?
Who broke all the windows of the Sexton's house and threw his carpets in the river?
