EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of St Clements Church, located on Chapelton Road in Sheepscar, Leeds. The interior view showcases the magnificent nave and apsidal chancel of this historic church, which unfortunately met its demise around 1976. Built in approximately 1868 according to the designs of George Corston, St Clements Church boasted an impressive architectural style that epitomized Victorian elegance. Its aisled nave consisted of five bays, complemented by north and south porches, a vestry, a south-east tower, and an apsidal chancel. The striking arcades featured wide pointed arches supported by squat cylindrical piers. Above them were paired round-headed clerestory windows that allowed natural light to illuminate the sacred space. The chancel arch was adorned with short columns boasting Corinthian capitals and a pointed arch with two orders. Notably beautiful were the eight-bay apse's two-light windows in each bay embellished with quatrefoil roundels. Regrettably lost to time and destruction circa 1976, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of what once stood proudly within the community. Preserved through this image captured by George Bernard Wood for Historic England's archives, it allows us to appreciate both the architectural brilliance of St Clements Church and mourn its irreplaceable loss.
