Sat 13 Sep:11am - 1pm; Free Entry. St John's Church, 23 New Briggate, Leeds LS2 8JD Heritage Open Day: Come and see the beautiful architecture of the oldest church in Leeds. St John's is the oldest church in Leeds city centre. It was built in 1632-34, a turbulent time in England when very few new churches were constructed. The glory of the church lies in its magnificent Jacobean (Carolean) fittings, particularly the superb carved wooden screen. Every part of the screen is richly decorated with flowers (including tulips), hearts, twisting vines, and grotesque heads of humans and animals. There is more lovely carving on the wall panels, pews and pulpit. Brightly painted angels play instruments in the roof and look down on wonderful carved pews below. This church will be open as part of the Heritage Open Days festival, so why not pop in and take a look for yourself. Our volunteers will be on hand to tell you all about this buildings rich history... READ MORE>
