St Peter's and St Leonard's Church

Beautiful church well maintained very cold pews are very uncomfortable. Has good pa system so you will hear everything nice and clean

This beautiful church was built in 1793 by the famous architect John Carr who was born in Horbury and the church also act as his tomb.It was redecorated in 2006 as near as possible to the original and it is a privilege to see it at its best. It has also recently has the bells re- cast and an external digtal lighting scheme.It has just been open for the 2021 Heritage weekend when the Carr family vault was accessible.

Been there playing in the band on the church steps today & tomorrow. Lovely church inside & lots of history - and it's free!

It church that welcomes everyone

Went for an exhibition ....... excellent.....met a friend I haven't seen for a long while.

Visited a very interesting exhibition on John Carr, the architect of St. Peter's and St. Leonard's. Fascinating to go up the clock tower and see the workings.

Lovely church and decoration, very well cared for in a beautiful area.

A stunning church in Horbury near Wakefield.Definitely a place to visit just for its architectural design and beauty. Set in a quiet town like village of West Yorkshire.We were doing a garden tidy for the vicarage when I took this shot.

What an absolutely beautiful church with some amazing history!

Visited as part of a wider tour round Horbury on Horbury Heritage Saturday.This annual event see's a number of interesting buildings opened up to the public.The church has a tea/coffee room where the Small crypt is also accessed via a hole in the floor. A degree of nimbleness is required but the space opens up a bit once you're in the room.There were several knowledgeable and helpful people on hand who gave a short history of the space and site.A short walk across the road along Tithe Barn street and you may spot a small two storey building on the North side of the road. This is the lock up or Kidcote. Again rarely open but well worth a look. Unfortunately I can't seem to add the place specifically, so I hope you don't mind me including a few images here...
