A daughter church of Beeston parish, dedicated on 2 December 1961, to replace a temporary structure of 1943 on the site of the present church hall. The architect was Geoffrey Davy. According to Historic England, "The three churches, St Cyprian and St James, St David and St Paul, designed by Geoffrey Davy and built between 1959 and 1965, are the most striking of their period in Leeds. They display an awareness of advances in liturgical thinking through the architect's membership of the New Churches Research Group, demonstrate the care that went into their design and detailing and show how the example of Le Corbusier's chapel at Ronchamp influenced the work of a provincial British practice."
