Summary

Description

The church was funded by banker John Smith, and its spire by William Beckett. The architects were the Leeds firm of Perkins & Backhouse, who also built St Peter's Bramley. Work began in 1853 by Headingley builder Thomas Moxon, while the church's woodwork and wood carving were crafted by Messrs. Winn and Pawson.

In 1886, alterations were made to increase its capacity from 450 to 650 to serve the growing population. Burley had undergone a significant expansion in the intervening years caused mainly by the industrial revolution and sale of land for building to the south and west of the church by the Earl of Cardigan.
