Leeds Parish Church - Kirkgate, Leeds

The church in the photograph is Leeds Parish Church on Kirkgate in the city of Leeds in Yorkshire.

This church is also known as the Parish Church of Saint Peter-at-Leeds.

There has been a church on this site since the early 7th century and the Domesday book of 1086 mentions a church in Ledes. The church on the site today was built in the 19th century by the then Vicar of Leeds Walter Farquhar Hook and it was consecrated on 2 September 1841 with Florence Nightingale in the congregation.

The architect was Robert Dennis Chantrell and at the time of its construction Leeds Parish Church was the largest new Church in England built since Sir Christopher Wren's new St Paul's Cathedral erected in the years following the Great Fire of London and consecrated in 1707.

The Parish Church is at the easternmost extremity of the modern-day city centre, within a spacious precinct bordering on two of the city's oldest thoroughfares - Kirkgate to the north and The Calls to the south.

The church is in the Anglican Diocese of Ripon and Leeds (which has its cathedral at Ripon).

The building is open to visitors for at least seven hours each day. Café Create, a community enterprise established from St George's Crypt, serves refreshments and light meals.
