St Mary The Virgin Church, Medieval church building in Elland, England
St Mary The Virgin Church features Gothic architecture with a west tower, south porch, and multiple windows decorated with stone tracery throughout the structure.
Construction of the church began around 1250, marking the third religious structure built on this location, with earlier foundations dating back to 1201.
The church contains memorials commemorating William Grimshaw, who introduced Methodism to the Haworth area, reflecting regional religious developments.
The building maintains an octagonal font from 1662 at the rear, alongside two additional fonts from different periods for ceremonial purposes.
The interior structure includes an unusual double staircase leading to a gallery, which underwent restoration work during the 1980s.
