About Leeds Cathedral
Leeds Cathedral — formally the Cathedral Church of St Anne — was built between 1901 and 1904 to designs by John Henry Eastwood in a refined arts-and-crafts Gothic style. It became the seat of the Diocese of Leeds (created in 2014 by the merger of the Ripon & Leeds, Bradford, and Wakefield dioceses) and serves one of the largest Catholic populations in the North of England. The cathedral is renowned for its professional choir, its rich liturgical music programme, and its prominent position on Great George Street at the heart of the civic quarter of Leeds city centre.
