St George's Churchyard

An atmospheric deconsecrated churchyard complete with heavily-weathered gravestones and mature trees around the 1826 neo-gothic former church, now University of Sheffield lecture theatre and student accommodation. In spring and summer, a pair of peregrine falcons can usually be seen nesting and raising chicks high on the church tower. While you're there, you might as well look at some of the university buildings around it, most notably the grade-II listed is an imposing example of Edwardian architecture, while the striking metallic is either a modern masterpiece or a hideous carbuncle, depending on whom you ask.
