St Mary's Church, Anglican church in Harrogate, England
Description
St Mary's Church is an early 1900s religious building in central Harrogate, designed by architect Walter Tapper with Gothic Revival elements and built from stone. The structure serves today as Kairos Church, functioning as a venue for regular gatherings and community activities.
History
The current building was completed in 1916, replacing an older structure from 1825 that was found to be structurally unsafe in 1903. The rebuild became necessary after authorities determined the earlier building could no longer serve its purpose safely.

The building is named after Mary and forms a recognizable landmark in Harrogate's town center. Visitors can observe how the space is designed to serve as a gathering place for the local community.
Practical
The building sits in a central location in Harrogate and is easily reached on foot. Its position makes it simple for visitors to include in walks around the town center.
Did you know?
The building originally contained eight bells cast in 1916, with some later moved to Dordrecht in the Netherlands. This relocation happened after the congregation changed and the bells found new use elsewhere.
