St John the Evangelist Church - New Briggate Leeds

St John the Evangelist Leeds Church

The above photo is of St John the Evangelist church in the very heart of Leeds city centre. Many people would not realise this church is here, it is very much overshadowed by a large shopping centre.

St John’s church was built in 1632-34 and is the oldest church in Leeds city centre. The main access to Saint John's is on New Briggate, being just off the Headrow.

The day I took the photograph from the churchyard was very cold, icy and bleak. Oddly the only colour around the church was blossom on a few small trees and I took the photo below of this.



You can see a photograph of a sundial on the exterior of St Johns church, Briggate in Leeds here.
