Welcome to the Leeds Minster – a place of Christian worship and prayer and the birth place of the city of Leeds. Leeds Minster is one of England’s best-loved Parish Churches with a distinguished choral tradition. The current church building dates back to the ministry Dr Walter Hook. It was during his 22-year incumbency that today’s Minster Church of St Peter at Leeds was built - an astonishing bui

lding consecrated with great ceremony on 2 September 1841 in the presence of a vast congregation including Florence Nightingale. Today you can visit the Minster for worship – whether for a few minutes of calm contemplation at a mid-week Choral Evensong or for the richness of a Sunday Choral Eucharist. We invite all to walk around and soak up the atmosphere of a building rich in history and heritage. If you do have not the time for an extended personal visit, but happen to pass the Minster on foot, by train, by bus, or in your car, do listen out for the bells and pray for us as we pray for you.
