Headingley Parish Church or the Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels in Headingley, a suburb of Leeds, in West Yorkshire, England is a Victorian Church of England parish church. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The parish of Headingley was carved out of the once very large parish of Leeds, which at the time also included the districts of Armley, Beeston, Bramley and Hunslet. The first church on the site was built on land given in about 1620 by John Savile. This church remained in place for 210 years and could hold 200 congregants.
The Industrial Revolution brought population booms to northern England and the population of Headingley increased to 2,000 warranting the creation of a vicarcy in 1849 and the building of a larger, 600-seater, church in 1838, designed by the architect R. D. Chantrell.
However, this church was not to last: further increases in population meant that a new church was needed. Today's church is the third on the site and was consecrated in 1886.
With the growth in the local population a new parish of Far Headingley was created, and St Chad's Church, Far Headingley was built in 1868. The two churches have worked together in matters of child welfare. The Headingley Team of St Michael's and St Chad's have a tradition of undertaking welfare work dating back to the late 19th century, and during the Second World War St Chad's opened a home for the friendless girls' societies in Leeds. In recent years, the two churches hold early Sunday morning communion services alternately, and both participate in Churches Together in Headingley. [2] [3]
The church was designed by J. L. Pearson, architect of Truro Cathedral. It was built from 1884 to 1886, and the north porch was added and the spire completed in 1890. [4] It is built of gritstone with a tiled roof, and is Grade II* listed. [5] The church wall and gate piers are Grade II listed. [6]
The Parish Hall was built in 1834 [4] or 1844 [7] as the Headingley National School, and is Grade II listed, as is the former Parochial Institute in Bennett Road, built in 1877 by George Corson and now used as offices. [8]
Worship at the church is in the liberal catholic tradition of the Church of England, with both Sunday services being sung by the church's choir. [9]
