This image shows Guiseley Parish Church, St Oswald's situated at the Green. A church has occupied this site since Saxon times but the present church dates back to the Normans and there is some beautiful Norman architecture within. The Warde family began the tower but the building was not complete in 1473 when the widow of the late Sir Roger Warde, Joan Warde, died. She bequeathed 'Six shillings and eight pence to the Parish of Gyslay for the building of the tower'. Her Grandson , Sir Christopher Warde ensured the completion of the Tower in about 1480. The Warde coat of Arms can be seen in the interior. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | The Green Guiseley Parish Church St Oswald's Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
