Our Church

pulpit Our present Church building, designed by the Reverend E. Sugden, was opened in 1888 and cost £1300. It was originally intended that the Church would be extended to seat 700 but hoped for funds never materialized.

The Church is home to a number of ecclesiastical antiques including an angel font, a marble altar and a wooden 18th century Flemish pulpit.

The organ, built by Wood Wordsworth of Leeds, was presented to St. Mary’s Sisterhood in King street in 1890. It was acquired by St. Margaret’s in 1979 following the closure of the King Street Convent.
