Leeds Minster, Gothic Revival parish church in Leeds, England

Leeds Minster is a Gothic Revival parish church in Leeds featuring a lengthy nave divided into three aisles with wooden ceilings throughout. A tall tower built on a square plan rises prominently at the north transept.

The current building was completed in 1841 and replaced an earlier church documented in the Domesday Book of 1086. Anglo-Saxon stone fragments, including parts of ancient crosses, survive within the structure and mark centuries of continuous use.

The church maintains a chamber choir of skilled singers and university scholars who perform choral services at least three times weekly during choir terms. This regular musical offering is a central part of its current community life.

Access is possible Tuesday through Saturday between 11:00 and 14:00, with additional opportunities to visit during Sunday worship services. Checking ahead for any special closures or extended hours can help plan your visit.

The east window dating to 1846 contains glass sourced from continental European craftsmen and displays intricate patterns. Inside, marble arcades and Venetian mosaics create an unusual decorative scheme that reflects skilled workmanship and artistic vision.
