A few years on and its clear that this church is fully functioning and has an active congregation. There are flowers blooming in the garden area and a sign welcoming people in. This is great as it is such a beautiful building really adding to the traditional cityscape of Leeds with is blackened stone bricks from more industrial times. It lies on the road towards Headingley, a little way out of the city centre. The Ashwood group functions in the church, running music groups and a youth club. I have cycled past a few times on a Friday or Saturday night around midnight to see a few people gathered round a bbq giving out burgers to drunk students passing by. I have seen a similar crew in Headingley and I think they call themselves Jesus's Army, or something similar. Whilst I am not a Christian, I do admire the enthusiasm of the people involved in this church and how they engage with the community - I couldn't refuse a free burger on a Saturday night could I?!

Imagine how God feels! I have never been moved to visit the church in a religious capacity, however. Like many churches these days, the hall acts as a community space. I have been to a few yoga and dance workshops here and the space is really great. Even though it is on the Otley Road, when inside it is very peaceful. At the back there is a large green area which is also very pleasant. I'm sure many community take advantage of this space by meeting here.

The building is made out of real Yorkshire stone and its blackened facade reminds you Leeds was once an industrial centre. It is a piece of history amongst the fluctuating residents of Headingley. It houses plenty of other communities too - baby ballet, a baby singing group, a choir, karate lessons, a latin reading group and even a wine group (in a church?!). There are rooms available to hire out and the only downside in my experience is that the hall is a bit cold on a winter evening!

I was hugely surprised by All Hallows, my friend took me along when I fist started coming to Leeds and we'd go to an extremely cheap yoga session that left us both floating and speechless for hours after. There's a community café, film night, meditation, breakdancing and all sorts available at prices people on low incomes can afford because the church works hard to secure funding to allow people access to activities that may otherwise be too costly. I am extremely thankful to the church for doing all this whilst still acting as a place for worship. I think it is a wonderful idea ad a massive aid to the community.

It now stands out on Boar Lane in the shopping area of Leeds as a magnificent Georgian building. It is a Church of England church and still holds services of Holy Communion Sunday, Tuesday and Friday although most people probably don't realise this. I heard that the congregation is very small (but strong) and for most of the time is is an arts and music venue holding gigs and exhibitions. It is a great venue for this so its nice to see that it can survive running simultaneously as a place for worship and art.

There's something really atmospheric and a little spooky about a rock/folk band playing in a church. And Amy's powerful, haunting voice only adds to that vibe (as well as plastering you up against the nearest wall with its power). The Evens ascetic, preachy vibe was perfectly suited to this venue: the hard wood pews, the spooky light coming through the stained glass windows, the (I think) Gothic architecture The packed hall, lots of people sitting cross-legged up front, it all gave a fantastic feeling of community very fitting to a church. It all just came together for one of the most intense gigs ever!
