Welcome to the church of St John the Evangelist, Farsley!

The Parish of St John the Evangelist is in the west of Leeds within the boundaries of the former Borough of Pudsey. The parish Church and its adjacent community hall are located in the heart of the village of Farsley, on the east side of Town Street.

For centuries Farsley was served by the mediaeval parish of St Wilfrid, Calverley and, largely resulting from the poverty of the area, did not gain its own Anglican parish status and Church until 1843. The land was donated by the Thornhill Estate and contributions were made from far and wide, including from the Dowager Queen Adelaide, to enable construction.
