Question: When did the university that Sheffield Phoenix Press is based in receive its royal charter?
Context: The University of Reading is a public university located in Reading, Berkshire in England.  It was established in 1892 as a satellite college of Christ Church, Oxford.  It received the power to grant its own degrees by Royal Charter in 1926 from King George V, and was the only university to receive such a charter between the two world wars. The University of Birmingham (informally Birmingham University) is a public research university located in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom.  It received its royal charter in 1900 as a successor to Queen's College, Birmingham (founded in 1828 as the Birmingham School of Medicine and Surgery) and Mason Science College (established in 1875 by Sir Josiah Mason), making it the first English civic or 'red brick' university to receive its own royal charter.  It is a founding member of both the Russell Group of British research universities and the international network of research universities, Universitas 21. The University of Sheffield (informally Sheffield University) is a public research university in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.  It received its royal charter in 1905 as successor to the University College of Sheffield, which was established in 1897 by the merger of Sheffield Medical School (founded in 1828), Firth College (1879) and Sheffield Technical School (1884). The Royal Charter on self-regulation of the press is a United Kingdom royal charter approved in 2013.  The Queen set her seal on the document at a meeting of the Privy Council after the failure of two High Court actions by Pressbof to prevent it.  The Charter is circumscribed by two acts of Parliament, the Crime and Courts Act 2013 and the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013.

A Royal College in some Commonwealth countries is technically a college which has received royal patronage and permission to use the prefix "Royal".  Permission is usually granted through a Royal Charter.  The charter normally confers a constitution with perpetual succession and the right to sue or be sued independently of the members.  The charter also usually provide for rights of recourse to the Queen in Council.  Although incorporation is now cheaply and easily obtainable by registration, the distinction of a Royal Charter means that such charters are still sought by and granted to institutions considered to be in the public interest, typically learned professional societies. Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd. (SPP) is an independent academic printing house specializing in biblical studies and religious studies.  Based in the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield, it was launched in January 2004, taking the place of the former Sheffield Academic Press. The University of London is a collegiate and a federal research university located in London, England, The University was incorporated originally by royal charter in 1836 and is, at present, incorporated by royal charter granted in 1863.  It is now governed by the University of London Act 1994 and by the Statutes made under it.  The university currently consists of 18 constituent colleges, nine research institutes and a number of central bodies. The title of third-oldest university in England is claimed by three institutions: Durham University as the third oldest officially recognised university (1832) and the third to confer degrees (1837), the University of London as the third university to be granted a Royal Charter (1836), and University College London as it was founded as "London University" (1826) and was the third oldest university institution to start teaching (1828).  A fourth institution, King's College London, officially claims to be the fourth oldest university in England but is claimed by some students to be the third oldest as the third university institution to receive a Royal Charter (1829).  Deciding which is truly the "third oldest university" depends largely on the definition of university status and how this is applied historically. A royal charter is a formal document issued by a monarch as letters patent, granting a right or power to an individual or a body corporate.  They were, and are still, used to establish significant organisations such as cities (with municipal charters) or universities and learned societies.  Charters should be distinguished from warrants and letters of appointment, as they have perpetual effect.  Typically, a Royal Charter is produced as a high-quality work of calligraphy on vellum.  The British monarchy has issued over 980 royal charters.  Of these about 750 remain in existence.  The earliest was to the town of Tain in 1066, making it the oldest Royal Burgh in Scotland, followed by the University of Cambridge in 1231.  Charters continue to be issued by the British Crown, a recent example being that awarded to The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors, in 2014.
