Summary Description

Leeds Minsteris a large early Victorian church, situated on the north bank of the River Aire to the south-east of the centre of the City of Leeds in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Minster with its fixed furnishings is Grade I-listed; its boundary walls and their associated structures are separately listed at Grade II; and it stands in a Conservation Area. It is a local landmark, its pinnacled tower widely visible. St Peter’s is the historic parish church of Leeds. Together with Kirkgate, the street that runs past the church to the north, the Minster represents the oldest part of the city. The site may have been occupied by at least four previous churches since the seventh century.
