Description: | Undated,
View looks across the graveyard onto John Harrison's St John's Church. The church was consecrated in 1634. This view shows the South Porch entrance which was added to the Church in the 1860s. Harrison's generosity to the citizens of Leeds continued after his death at the age of 77 in 1656. After his estate was settled between his family and friends, the remainder was left, 'for the relief of such who as by the frowns of the world should unhappily be reduced to poverty'. The Harrison memorial window was inserted in 1885. | 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 |
