Background
History
The church was consecrated by John Pulleine, Bishop of Richmond, on 13 October 1894. The first vicar was Samuel Mumford Taylor, who later became Bishop of Kingston-upon-Thames. His pastoral staff and mitres were bequeathed to the church. The apse is decorated with 1000 sqft of mosaics by Frank Brangwyn, which were completed in 1916. They show scenes from St Aidan's life: feeding the poor, in Northumbria, preaching and the death of the saint. They are said to be best viewed at noon on a sunny winter's day, when they are lit by the nave windows.
Visiting
The church is unusual among Anglican parish churches in celebrating the Mass daily. It was previously in the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds, whose cathedral is at Ripon. However the church became part of the Diocese of Leeds in 2014. From January 2012 until 2017, the parish was united with Leeds All Souls.
