Mill Hill Chapel, Gothic Revival religious building in City Square, Leeds, England
Mill Hill Chapel is a church building in Gothic Revival style located at City Square in Leeds. The structure features millstone grit stone walls with a slate roof, clustered columns, and an arch-braced ceiling decorated with carved angels.
The chapel was founded in 1674 by Dissenters and later redesigned in 1848 by architects Henry Bowman and J.S. Crowther in the Gothic Revival style. This transformation made it an important example of 19th-century religious architecture in Leeds.
The chapel contains stained glass windows by William Morris, which honour local figures and members of the Kitson family. These works represent important examples of 19th-century craftsmanship in decorative glass.
The chapel holds regular services and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture and design. Access is through the main entrance facing City Square.
The building earned the name 'the mayors' nest' because of its close connections with many Leeds mayors over the years. It was also the site of the first same-sex wedding held in the city center.
