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?!

Whatever your degree of religious interest, the beauty hiding within Leeds Parish Church is something that needs to be experienced. The main section of the church is breathtakingly aesthetic. When I recently visited it, the sun was dramatically pouring through the beautiful stained glass windows, casting playfully colourful patterns on the stone floor. The intricately carved wooden seating and organ were perfectly framed in the gravitas of the room. Leading off from the main room, is The Lady Chapel. It is much smaller, creating a more intimate space. An elaborate altar sits at the head of the room, a lovely statue to focus on. The softness of the windows contrasts with the jagged edges of the furniture to spectacular effect. The website is updated regularly, providing information on times of services, performances by the choir and other music events. The ethereal beauty of the place evokes such peacefulness, you can't help but feel calm and collected. A wonderful place to contemplate, life, love, the universe, or just what to have for lunch.

Sadly a massive main road reaches nearly its edge and the way the city centre has developed, there isn't much else around it. If I was to redesign Leeds the city would shift sideways a bit so that this beautiful building was more a central feature. It beats the cathedral in terms of beauty and magnificence inside and out. I love the curling gothic details on each spire and the stain glass windows. It is definitely worth walking down this way just for the sake of checking it out sometime.
