Celebrating 200 years of the church at Alverthorpe
Heritage Open Day: Climb the tower and ring the bells
See the display of how the church has changed over 200 years
Hear the stories of local residents recalling changes in the area St Paul's Church, Alverthorpe sits on top of a hill just outside Wakefield City Centre. Along with the Cathedral it's one of the most visible landmarks in Wakefield. For this heritage open day you can climb a steep and narrow spiral staircase to get to the carillon bells which you can ring. Weather permitting there is then a vertical ladder to climb to get to the top of the tower itself. It therefore requires a significant level of fitness to get to the top. Please consider your fitness before deciding to attempt it.
