The church was built 1932-35 by the distinguished architect W.D Caröe to serve the Hawksworth Wood estate built in the 1920s by Leeds City Council. It's unusual for a small suburban church of this age to be listed, but this one is (grade II, entry 1392201). The reasons for designation are its late "Arts and Crafts" style, the design by Caröe (and his son who reordered it in 1972), and "a complete and unaltered architectural and decorative ensemble of high quality". I might also add that the knapped flint walls are by no means a local style.
