View of St. John the Evangelist Church located between Dixon Lane and Lower Wortley Road, looking across from the direction of Lower Wortley Road. The Misses March of Beech Grove House offered a generous contribution to the building fund so in 1896 these grand-daughters of the pioneering engineer, Mathew Murray, were invited to lay the foundation stone. The new Church was consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon in 1898. Over the years the Church has been extended and altered. In recent years the overgrown Churchyard has been transformed into a nature trail to benefit the community. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Dixon Lane Nature Trail Lower Wortley Road St. John the Evangelist Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
