Garforth Church

Garforth Church
This church is St Mary's at Garforth, which I visited yesterday as part of Treasures Revealed here in Leeds. I had not been to Garforth in several years and never to the church.

The church of St Mary is not a big church, but it does I think have a nice atmosphere and also some rather nice stained glass windows. I am not sure about the East Window, these triple lights were 'the work and gift of Mary Isabella and Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne' whose family partly paid for the building of the current early Victorian church.

The above photo shows a view of St Mary's from the car park at the back of the building, to the left in the picture is the church hall and on the right a good sized yew tree.

  2. Interesting post- quite a dark and unusual looking spire.

  3. I enjoy the feel and look of these smaller, quiet churches. You've really caught that.
