St Peter's church, Gildersome
Consecrated in 1992, this is the third church on this site: the building it replaced survived long enough for my parents to be married in it in 1980, but was demolished later that decade due to structural damage (which resulted from mining related subsidence, if memory serves). The second church had a life of barely a century, the first having been damaged beyond repair by fire. The stone gate posts (extreme right) are presumably contemporary with either the first or second church.

Entrance to St Peter's church, Gildersome
The original church on the site, a chapel of ease to the parish of Batley, was erected in 1774. Following a fire in 1873 it was replaced 1876 by a gothic revival church by Adams and Kelley, consecrated in 1887. The Victorian building suffered serious subsidence problems in the 1970s (perhaps not surprisingly, as there was a coal pit nearby) and closed in 1981. This latest building was, as the foundation stone here shows, erected in 1989.

According to a local history website, this was the Sunday school building
Image dating from 1837, and the stone crest facing the main road is that of the Brudenell family who gave the land, with the motto "En Grace Affie" translating as "Trust in Grace".

St Peter's church hall, Gildersome
For several uncomfortable years between the demolition of the second St Peter's church and the consecration of the third, this small building was used for church services. The western end of the third church is visible on the left.

Gildersome cemetery - cremation area
This was originally the churchyard of St Peter's church, from c.1796. The churchyard was closed for burials by Order in Council on 30 June 1865 but interments of cremated remains continue, and it is maintained by Leeds City Council. The building in the background is the current St Peter's church, dating from 1989.
