PopT Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have heard today that there was an article on Radio Sheffield some time ago there was a commemorative window somewhere in Sheffield to one of my ancestors John Glossop. Does anyone have any knowledge of it or where it is or was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whissiewoo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 If John Glossop paid for a stained glass window in Sheffield Cathedral then it would be commemorated to him. could ask sheffield-cathedral.c.o.uk, other than that contact picturesheffield.com. or archives@sheffield.gov.uk - our local archives if it was on Radio Sheffield have you tried contacting south.yorkshire@bbc.co.uk - BBC have started a 'tell your history to the world' site in january where local people can contact over historical objects in their possession. good luck in your search We have a Glossop Road in Sheffield am sure other on this forum can tell you if it was named after him.

No, surely Glossop Road was named after the fact that it leads to Glossop!! Maybe the name came from the town in the first place- hope you find the window by the way!
