St Saviour Church in Richmond Hill, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England is an active Anglican parish church in the archdeaconry of Leeds and the Diocese of Leeds.
History
[edit]The church was built between 1842 and 1845 to designs by architect John Macduff Derick. The church was anonymously funded by Edward Bouverie Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, a leading advocate of the Oxford Movement. A tall spire, modelled on the spire of St Mary's, Oxford and pinnacles along the eaves were not built. The building was Grade I listed on 26 September 1963.[1]
Present day
[edit]The parish stands in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.
Architectural style
[edit]The church is built in a Gothic revival style of dressed stone with ashlar dressings. It has a central tower.[1] The church has four five-light windows described by Pevsner as being 'of great merit, in the style of the 13th century and in glowing colour, nothing yet of Victorian insipidity'.
