Discover in this website something of the ministry and work going on within this astonishing building each day as worship and service are offered for and to a fast-moving modern city. This is a ministry underpinned by the strong choral tradition at the heart of the life of one of England’s most greatly loved Parish Churches.

The origins of our present-day endeavour date from the time of the greatest of the Victorian Vicars of Leeds, Dr Hook, during whose 22-year incumbency today’s St Peter’s was built and consecrated with great ceremony on 2 September 1841 in the presence of a vast congregation including Florence Nightingale.

Visit the Church for worship – whether for a few minutes of calm beauty at a mid-week Choral Evensong or for the richness of a Sunday Choral Eucharist. Walk around and soak up the atmosphere of a building rich in history, listen to the famous organ, enjoy a light lunch in the Coffee Shop. 

If you have not the time for an extended personal visit, but pass the Parish Church on foot, by train, or in your car, listen out for the Bells and pray for us as we pray for you.
