Description: | October 2003
The parish church of All Saints is built on the site of a seventh century church burned down by the pagans, although fragments of early Saxon Runic Crosses, bearing evidence of fire, still survive. Much of the architecture of the present building dates from Norman times. The South Trancept houses a finely carved memorial tomb to Thomas, Lord Fairfax and Lady Helen Aske, the grandparents of Sir Thomas Fairfax who fought at the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644 on the side of the Roundheads. John Wesley preached here in 1770. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Otley Parish Church Kirkgate | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
