Welcome to the website for the Parish of Bardsey

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.

Both our churches are open daily for those who wish to visit.

Everyone is welcome, from pilgrims on a spiritual journey, to church historians or those seeking a place of quiet contemplation in this busy world.

Church opening times are: - All Hallows,  10am to 5pm    and     Saint Mary Magdalene,   10am to 3pm.
