St Richard's, Seacroft: east side
A good example of a post-war estate church, St Richard’s was built from 1955, being dedicated by the Bishop of Ripon on 12th December 1956. Unusually for the time, there is a crypt. The dedication is to a lesser-known British saint, Richard of Chichester. as the first priest-in-charge had been Vice-Principal of Chichester Theological College. Re-ordered in the 1970s as a dual purpose building and again in 1995. The church is built in an almost north-south direction rather than the conventional west-east, and its axis is pretty much along the OS gridline. It is a Licensed Place of Worship within the Parish of Seacroft, where St James's is the parish church, along with a congregation meetign in a school. Two other Anglican churches within the parish, Swarcliffe St Luke and the Church of the Ascension, have closed within the last twenty years. [Information mainly from the parish website].
