Leeds Grand Mosque

St Mark is the last to survive of the three ‘Million' or Church Commissioner's churches built in Leeds. With the aid of the First Parliamentary Grant to the Commissioners for New Churches, following the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Parliament approved £1 million to build churches in industrial areas to tackle the perceived threat of civil unrest caused by the mass migration from the countryside into the rapidly expanding towns.

All Souls was completed in 1880 as a memorial to Walter Farquhar Hook, the Vicar of Leeds who was responsible and famous for the growth of Anglicanism in the city. George Gilbert Scott, perhaps the greatest ecclesiastical architect of the time, designed All Souls on a grand scale, having in mind the nave of one of the great Yorkshire abbeys. He died two days after completing his plans, his design being then carried out by his son, John Oldrid Scott.

Holy Trinity Church is a Georgian Church in the heart of Leeds City centre. Funded by the local parishioners, the foundation stone was laid on 25th August 1722 and it was consecrated 5 years later by the Archbishop of York on 27th August 1727. It is therefore exactly 290 years old.
