St John the Evangelist, Bierley: west end
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 10 Sep 2016
This unassuming church is visible to drivers on the Bradford ring road - I must have passed it many times myself without a second thought - but is in fact one of the oldest places of worship in the area. Typical of its time (1766: the church was open to celebrate its 250th anniversary) with a roughly square plan, and a modest clock tower. The classical features such as portico and tympanum were added in 1824.
