Description: | 23rd March 1925. This property was situated between Merrion Street and St. John's Church, New Briggate, which was built by John Harrison in 1634. The original doorway and windows can be seen from the lines of brickwork. Numbers 662 under horizontal line of brick work suggest a date for the property of 1662. Edward Parsons, in his History of Leeds (1834) refers to "the Parsonage house belonging to St. John's Church, built by the founder of that edifice, but so changed in its exterior by two successive alterations of the front that nothing of its antique character remains". The description and the dates suggest that this is possibly part of the parsonage. The area was cleared for the building of the Merrion Street Garden of Rest, which opened in 1933. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St. John's Place | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
