Shared description
Church of St Mary, Kippax
One of the ancient parish churches of Elmet, long predating the present city of Leeds which has swallowed the parish (administratively) although the village remains a few miles outside the limit of the city's built-up area. The parish is now one of three in a larger benefice with Allerton Bywater and Swillington (all three dedicated to St Mary).
The building is largely Anglo-Saxon or early Norman, altered of course at various dates. It is grade I listed (list entry 1237399), partly for the extensive use of herringbone masonry.
