St. Giles' Church, Pontefract, Anglican church in Market Place, Pontefract, England.
St Giles' Church presents Georgian architecture with an octagonal bell tower containing ten bells and features round-arched windows across seven structural bays.
The church site holds religious significance since the 12th century, with the current building reconstructed in the early 1700s and the tower rebuilt in 1786.
The interior displays a magnificent east window by C.E. Kempe depicting the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension through detailed stained glass work.
The building offers community spaces, accessible facilities, a café serving refreshments on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and remains open Monday through Sunday.
The church received recognition through the RICS Pro-Yorkshire Awards in 2014 for its renovation into the St Giles Centre while maintaining its historical elements.
