Church of the Epiphany, Anglican parish church in Gipton, Leeds, England.
Church of the Epiphany is an Anglican parish church in Gipton built of red brick with a distinctive apse and reinforced concrete structure. The building uses a single roof covering both the nave and chancel to create one unified, open interior space.
The church was built in 1937 and designed by architect Nugent Cachemaille-Day with inspiration from medieval French church design. Its construction represented an important expansion of religious facilities for the growing Gipton community.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community with programs that span different age groups throughout the year. The simple, open interior creates a welcoming space for both worship and community activities.
The entrance features a ramp for easy access, and the building has a hearing loop system with accessible restrooms located in an adjacent hall. Large print materials are available for those who need them.
The architect drew inspiration from medieval French cathedral design, particularly the Church of Coutances, blending historical European elements with modern construction techniques. This combination creates a distinctive approach to 1930s religious architecture that was quite different from traditional English parish churches.
