Description: | Undated.
View of St. John's Church before restoration in 1868. View is looking west to the gallery which had been erected in 1765. The church, paid for by John Harrison, was consecrated in 1634. Richard Norman Shaw, working with the support of Sir George Gilbert Scott, to prevent the demolition of the church in the nineteenth century, prepared a scheme which included the removal of the galleries and the building of a new south porch. The church reopened in 1868. The church was finally closed in October 1974 and is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St. John's Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
