The Dean of Sheffield is the head (primus inter pares – first among equals) and chair of the chapter of canons, the ruling body of
Sheffield Cathedral. The dean and chapter are based at the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in
Sheffield. Before 2000 the post was designated as a
provost, which was then the equivalent of a
dean at most
English cathedrals. The cathedral is the mother church of the
Diocese of Sheffield and seat of the
Bishop of Sheffield.
