Short History of St John's Church, Roundhay:

St John's Church in Roundhay, Leeds, was consecrated in 1826, built to serve the growing population of the village. The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style, reflecting the 19th-century passion for medieval architecture.

The church is surrounded by two churchyards, the North and South, which have served as burial grounds for generations of Roundhay residents.

Due to its age, the church building has undergone various restorations over the years, including the current repairs that have made it temporarily out of bounds.

The North and South churchyards contain numerous historic graves, some dating back to the church's early days, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who once lived in the area. These churchyards remain peaceful, reflective spaces, adding to the charm and historical significance of St John's Church.
