Mount St Mary's Church, Leeds, Gothic Revival church in Richmond Hill, Leeds, England
Mount St Mary's Church features a tall nave with side aisles, brick exterior walls, and Gothic arches supported by stone columns throughout the structure.
Architect Joseph Hansom designed this Grade II* listed building, which opened its doors on September 13, 1866, after years of interrupted construction.
The church served as a central place of worship for Irish Catholic migrants who settled in Leeds following the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s.
The building stands empty since 1989, with current plans to transform the structure into 175 residential apartments across two separate buildings.
The original marble altar and Hardman & Co stained glass windows remain inside the church, despite decades of abandonment and weather exposure.
