St. Mary's Church, Bradford

History

The parish was founded in 1823, the first St Mary's church built by 1825 and then this building constructed in 1876.

The church and presbytery is a Grade II English Heritage listed building.

Eventually many people from the Irish community moved out of the area and were replaced by a large immigrant population from Asia. The church's congregation became too small to support such a large church and it eventually closed in 2008.
