View of Killingbeck Roman Catholic Cemetery, off York Road. In the nineteenth century the Burial Grounds committee, in the interests of public health, made a move to close graveyards which had become overcrowded and therefore unhygienic. The burial ground of St Patrick's Chapel was one of these and meant that Roman Catholic families in the area had to inter their dead in Beckett Street Cemetery. However, in 1895 the Catholic Burial Board established the sectarian ground at Killingbeck and it was consecrated on the 14th July of that year. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St Patricks Chapel York Road Killingbeck Roman Catholic Cemetery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
