Sheffield didn't get a cathedral until 1926, 33 years after it became a city in 1893.

That'll make it difficult to get insurance now that it has been underpinned.

Is the only thing my research has provided.

I suspect insurance would have been even more difficult before it had been underpinned - with bloomin' great gaps up some of the columns, floor and walls sinking into the bog, etc.

I think they must, Leeds only has a Roman Catholic cathedral iirc and an Anglican lot just a parish church . The serial paedohile Jimmy Savile was processed through the cathedral after he conveniently snuffed it to evade justice.

Not the only criterion. It can get a Royal Charter and thus become a city.
