The Sheffield Pitt Club dined for the first time at Peech's Inn on the 28th May 1810 on which occasion the Rev Stuart Corbett was in the chair.
On Peech's Inn being given up the Club was removed to the Tontine Inn where it continues to be held.
The Rev Thomas Sutton presided the following year and Lieutenant Colonel Leader on the 20th of July 1812 to which day the celebration had been postponed on account of the melancholy death of the Right Hon Spencer Perceval.
