Description: | Undated.
The first church to be built in Headingley was on this site. Sir John Savile, first Alderman of Leeds in 1642, gave land for a church. A small stone building was dedicated to St Giles. This was rebuilt in 1838 designed by William Chantrell, then replaced within fifty years by the present St Michael's church which opened on 8th July 1886. A fragment of the original Shire Oak tree is kept in the Lady Chapel. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St Michael's Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
