Situated 8 miles north east of Leeds, the Parish of Bardsey is the northern most parish in the Archdeaconry of Leeds in the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds. The Parish is also part of the Allerton Deanery. Our two churches, the Parish Church of All Hallows, Bardsey and the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, East Keswick, serve the villages of Bardsey, East Keswick, Scarcroft and Wike.
All Hallows, Bardsey, dates from the ninth century and contains one of the best surviving Anglo-Saxon buildings in West Yorkshire. Also to be viewed within this church is the Bardsey Millennium Tapestry: a twenty-first century artwork, displayed in an ancient setting.
Saint Mary Magdalene, East Keswick, is a Victorian church noted for its ‘mouseman’ furnishings.
This web site provides information about church services, special events and parish news as well as background information on our churches and related activities.
Whether you are a member of our congregation or new to the area and looking for places of worship or just interested in historic churches, we hope you find this site informative and interesting.
Our Vicar is the Reverend Chris Puckin. Sadly Chris is currently unwell and will be absent from services for sometime - please remember him in your prayers. During the next few weeks we will be welcoming visiting Vicars from our Deanery and further afield to lead all our services. We give our thanks to them all for their help and support. For further information go to our special services page or contact us in the parish office.
