St Saviours Church Leeds
Heritage Open Day: Walk round the Grade I listed beautiful church and grounds to take in the architecture and stained glass windows. Refreshments available St Saviour’s Church was the foundation of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew at the University of Oxford. The architect was John Macduff Derick (1815-1859). He was born in Sligo, Ireland, practised in Oxford and was a pupil of Sir John Soane and a friend of A.W.N. Pugin.
St Saviour’s was consecrated on 28th October 1845 and was built from three motivations. Firstly, as a memorial to Pusey’s wife and two of his daughters. Secondly, as an attempt to establish Tractarian principles in a church parish setting. Thirdly, as a missionary endeavour in a desperately poor area of Leeds known as ‘The Bank’.
