Leeds Minster

In medieval times it obviously made sense to build Leeds’ parish church down by the river, although these days that means it feels somewhat out on a limb, isolated down at the end of Kirkgate (ie, ‘Church Street’). It’s actually an 1841 rebuilding of the original medieval church, but it’s worth calling in to see the vibrant 19th-century stained glass, while all praise goes to the on-site refectory café where you can get beans on toast for a quid. In 2012 the church was officially granted 'Minster' status.
