Description: | Undated,
View shows Leeds Parish Church which had been rebuilt in 1500 following a fire. When Dr Walter Hook became Vicar of Leeds in 1837 he was unhappy with the layout of the Church as shown here. He called for restoration and rearrangement although due to structural damage, the majority of the Church also needed to be rebuilt. The 'new' Parish Church was consecrated in 1841 and has a more ornate Gothic Revival style complete with pinnacles and turrets compared to the simpler Medieval style of the old church. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Old Parish Church St Peter's | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
