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. The parish are fundraising for further work.
