St Mark
Leeds, Yorkshire
St Mark is the last to survive of the three ‘Million’ or Church Commissioner’s churches built in Leeds.
All Hallows is an unassuming church building which offers a warm welcome to all who walk through the doors.
It was built in the 1970s after the original Victorian church burned down. An extension was added in the 1990s which is extensively used as the home of Rainbow Junktion, our community café. A peaceful garden at the rear offers expansive views over south and west Leeds. The building itself is of little significant architectural importance. Its true significance lies in being a large, welcoming and inclusive space in a diverse, multi cultural and deprived neighbourhood; a place where community groups can gather and people with different life experiences can encounter each other, often eat together, and make friends.
