The Parish Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin, Burley in Wharfedale
Main Street, Burley in Wharfedale, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, LS29 7DT
As part of Heritage Open Days 2025, we shall be open on Yorkshire Churches Day, Saturday, 13 September from 10.00am - 16.00pm and offer you a warm welcome. We are part of the Bradford Episcopal Area of the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, situated in the beautiful Wharfe valley. Our Patron Saint is the Blessed Virgin Mary and appropriately we enjoy a magnificent commemorative stained glass window. All the windows are stunning. The oak choir stalls, pulpit and altar rail were crafted by the renowned Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson who lived and worked in Kilburn. Come and see how many of his signature carved mice you can find and don't forget to ask why the one on the altar rail had to be removed! There will be a quiz to appeal to both young and old, and light refreshments will be available. We look forward to seeing you!
