Church of St John, Wakefield Road - Bradford
Dating to 1842, this church was built at the expense of the Bowling Iron Company. The architects, RH and S Sharpe of York, were assisted by Fred Stott, works engineer at the Bowling Foundry, as its construction made extensive use of iron. The chancel and transept roofs have been re-covered, but the remaining roofs need attention. The rainwater goods and cast iron windows are in poor condition. Further work is to be carried out in 2024 to address the remaining defects.
