The original church was built from 1889 to 1891, designed by John Kelly and is a Grade II listed building.[1] It is situated on Rider Street, next to the New York Road and East Street Arts.

The new St Patrick's Church is located on Torre Road in the east end of the city.[3]

History

Construction

In 1889, building work started on St Patrick's Church on Rider Street. It was designed by John Kelly, who also designed All Saints' Church, Petersham, London, Sacred Heart Church, Teddington and St Patrick's Church, Soho Square. It was opened in 1891.[1]

Move

Leading up to April 2001, construction work began on a new St Patrick's Church on Torre Road in Leeds. When it was finished, the old one closed and the new one opened the next day.[3] The original church remained and is now occupied by the West Yorkshire Playhouse and has East Street Arts located next to it.
