The oldest church in Leeds city centre. Built in 1632-34 English civil war?. Normally it is open for a few hours on Saturday. But I attended a Christmas carol service and that is why I can sit the church inside and see outside with light in darkness. I think the church is quite well maintained and it should be not just preserved but also utilised. Think about it. The location of this church is excellent for Leeds residents and tourists. A must go for the history of Leeds. An oasis for spiritual rest among such a busy city.

The park is pleasant, but the C17 church interior alone is worth the visit to Leeds. Particular highlights are the wonderful screen and the plaster ceiling. But note that it is a redundant church and is not open very often (11am-1pm on Fridays as of February 2020), thanks to volunteers.

A very lovely quiet place with incredible scene during sunny days. Located in Leeds city centre and not difficult to find. During the year sometimes there will be some events within the park around the church, such as Leeds Light Night. Nice place to relax alone or with friends.

  • Explore With Son & Me

A well run and beautiful exhibition for light night leeds. This was one of the quieter ones so we could easily access it even with our son in his pushchair. Such a beautiful church!

Beautiful old church, dating to the 1630s. Only open for visits on Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 1 pm, but well worth a look of you can get in.

  • Andrew Mcloughlin

To be clear this is more about the gardens which are a nice sun trap in the middle of Leeds. Good spot to have lunch and chill out.

  • Matthew Harwood

A nice looking church - be careful when walking around it when it has been raining the ground can be incredibly slippery.

  • DEHW

A beautiful old church with charm and beauty, and a place of prayer and stillness in a bustling city.
