# St Peter, Bramley

St Peter's is a Grade II Gothic Revival parish church on Hough Lane, Bramley, Leeds, in the Diocese of Leeds.

## Overview

Historic England records an Anglican church of 1861 by Perkins and Backhouse, altered in the twentieth century. The fabric is coursed squared stone and ashlar with a blue slate roof. A fine north-west corner tower remains after extensive rebuilding of the nave and chancel. The tower is of three stages with a spire: angle buttresses, blind arcading to the base, a second stage with decorated cusped recesses flanking a cusped lancet and a cusped round window above, a triple belfry window, a trefoil-pierced parapet, corner pinnacles and gables over the clock face at the base of a tall stone spire. Two-light traceried windows with hoodmoulds survive on the former nave north-west wall.

Little of the original interior remains. The listing notes two windows by William Morris of 1874, reset. Vidimus records that the 1861-63 church replaced an earlier St Margaret's Chapel, and that the design was Geometric Gothic, with nave, aisles, transepts and chancel. The National Churches Trust states that the present church stands on land given by Lord Cardigan near the site of the old church, and that a 1979 rebuilding by Peter B. Hill reused original millstone grit, retaining the tower and spire, the north aisle arcade and the north and west walls of the original nave, together with Robert Thompson furniture and the reset Morris glass in the sanctuary.
