In the words of Susan Wrathmell in the Pevsner guide, "the chancel and nave are separated by cancelli on which a procession of white-robed neophytes moves towards the opening in the centre, eager to be baptised by St Aidan".

St Aidan, Harehills: rood beam
As the church was only built in the 1890s this is not the remnant of a medieval rood screen, but a revival of the concept. According to Pevsner's guide, it was carved by a Mr Hedley of Newcastle in 1898. It bears the text "If I am lifted up from the Earth I will draw all men unto me".
