We began our guided walk around the village of Saltaire at this splendid church. Our costumed guide Maria really got into the character of Victorian mill worker Ellin Dooley as she shared lots of interesting facts about the church and its history while entertaining us with amusing anecdotes about life in Victorian Saltaire. The church, built by industrialist Sir Titus Salt for his mill workers in 1859, is in the Italianate architectural style and is set in beautiful leafy grounds. It's very grand inside, with ornate chandeliers that were once gas-lit. Sir Titus obviously didn't want any of the congregation to forget who had provided them with this place of worship; his initials are carved at the end of every pew! We were able to have a look inside his mausoleum. Enjoyed the added bonus of listening to a young man playing the organ brilliantly! The church is free to enter, but donations are much appreciated. Well worth spending some time here before exploring the rest of the village.

A grade 1 listed church created by Titus Salt and is part of the world heritage village and mill. The interior of the church is relatively plain in the Methodist tradition but you may be able to see the Titus Salt mausoleum. The grounds are grassed and adjacent to the Leeds liverpool canal. Well worth a visit along with the rest of the village, and Mill etc

Beautiful church! We ventured in when visiting town and met a really nice man with his son playing the organ. He was amazing! Made us feel very welcome while we enjoyed the beauty of the church as well as the organ!

I sing with a local choir and we've performed a few concerts here. It's a beautiful building with a rich history.
