Kings Road, HARROGATE, HG1 5HJ

An Anglican church, built in 1897 in Decorated Gothic style with a prominent tower and spire added c.1903. Discussions about the congregation moving out of the church started in 1972 when there was the possibility (which did not come to fruition) of a new ecumenical place of worship on the new Jennyfields estate off Skipton Road. It was formally closed in 1980, and converted into apartments in 1983. The building is grade II listed (list entry 1149446) principally for the spire's visual prominence in the area. The congregation continues, meeting in the former church hall nearby. Reference: "Churches: A question of conversion", K Powell & C de la Hay, SAVE, 1987, pp 32-41.

The church is now converted into private flats. The benchmark is cut into the north-east face of the church tower.

The tower and spire, "a prominent local landmark", were added to the church in 1903, about six years after the rest was built http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1149446&searchtype=mapsearch . Now flats: see Image and Image This is on King's Road.

It's jolly difficult to get the top of the spire in shot when you're close to this former church http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1149446&searchtype=mapsearch , now St Lukes Court. See also Image

Although the church is closed, the clock still seemed to be telling the correct time. See Image for context.

There is an OS benchmark Image on the NW face of the tower
