St John The Baptist

The east end has angle buttresses to the aisles and gargoyles in the form of animals at the corners.

The upper parts of the buttresses are free-standing and attached to the wall by extravagantly carved gargoyles in the form of animals.

The south porch, immediately adjacent to the chapel, is gabled with a pointed doorway, carved broad timber double doors and glass overlight.

The pews have decorative carved ends adapted from the C17 originals.

There are numerous wall monuments throughout.

A wood and glass screen with a door in the central bay divides the chapel from the aisle.

To the west of the Holdsworth Chapel is the south porch with outer heavy timber pointed-arch double doors, leading to modern glass and timber doors and screen, and inner heavy timber double doors.

A carving attached to the wall over the inner doors has a mixture of symbols and lettering and appears to be a reused fragment.

Among other dedications is a plaque displaying brass name plates formerly on pew ends.

A tomb with a dedication within a crocketed ogee arch with carved figures below is situated at the western end of the south aisle.

Directly in front of the tower at the west end of the nave is the font.

This has an octagonal raised stone base and a highly elaborate finely carved wooden font cover.

Between the nave and chancel are two bays occupying a central position between nave and chancel, with the chancel arch springing from the fifth pier and the rood screen two bays beyond, after which the chancel has three bays.

The carved wooden pulpit, which stands on castors so that it can be moved, is adjacent to the fifth pier on the south side.

A wood and glass screen divides the chapel from the aisle.

On the south side there are two of the Commonwealth windows, with distinctive plain glass in finely leaded geometric patterns.

The rood screen is a delicately carved wooden construction.

Beyond are three rows of choir stalls to either side with misericords dating from the C15 with individually carved images.

The altar rail has elaborate turned wood balusters of the late C17: this and the misericords may have originated in Kirkstall Abbey.

The organ is situated on the north side, beyond which in the north-east corner is small chapel, currently a store, with various wall monuments including a dedicatory plaque to the foundation by Nathaniel Waterhouse of a school for poor boys in the C17, and one Commonwealth window.

The Holdsworth Chapel has an elaborately carved wooden screen of the C16 separating it from the south aisle and fixed pews.

An office also has panelled walls and a fitted desk, and a vestry has glass fronted cupboards and wood lined walls incorporating a grandfather clock.
