St Hilda's Church
St Hilda's Church, Cross Green Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS9 0DG
Discover a church which is built from the same red brick as the nearby housing, symbolising that it belongs to the community that it was built to serve. There is a unique collection of carved and painted woodwork, including an incredible rood screen with loft (accessed carefully via a spiral staircase), an amazing font canopy, side-screens, reredos - and much more. The quality of natural light is an important feature. It is a listed building but is not a museum. It has movable chairs and so is a flexible building that lends itself well to modern forms of worship, in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, as well as being able to accommodate community and school events of all kinds. It is a focal point, a centre of activity and the heartbeat of the community. We are again displaying many photographs of this area, depicting aspects of everyday life in the past: the people, streets, schools, teams and more - as well as of church events. Come and see.
