St Mary the Virgin, Middleton, Grade II listed church in Middleton, England
The church features coursed sandstone ashlar walls, slate roofs, two-light lancet windows between buttresses, and single light lancets in the chancel.
Construction began in 1846 under architect Robert Dennis Chantrell, funded by public subscriptions and a grant from the Society for Church Building.
Local miners demonstrated their commitment to the church by contributing either a week's wages or labor toward its construction in the 1840s.
The church maintains regular services within the Armley deanery of the Diocese of Leeds, offering religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
Mining operations beneath the church in 1917 caused structural damage, leading to the removal of the original tall spire in 1939.
