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