Does anyone have any information and or photographs of St Judes Church that was on the Hunslet Road and Leathely Road Junction?

I understand that it was demolished in the late 1950's / early 1960's. I am trying to find a war memorial that I would have assumed would have been there. My Great Uncle George Henry Hitchen was killed in the first world war and was married at St Judes and so I would like to find a memorial with his name on it.

I have had a look on Leodis however I can find no reference to the memorial.

I have been told that the memorial may have been re-located at St Mary's church Hunslet however I have not been able to confirm this, any information and or help is appreciated.

Regards Dean

I have recently found St Judes Parish Magazine dated June 1924. Is this any use to you?

Hi Dean From Leeds i can tell you for sure it was demolished mid to late fiftys i had a look around the shell i left Hunslet in 1959 and it had gone by then sorry i cant help you with any more information.

At least a small part of St. Judes that still exists in situ, see attached photo.

Ooops, forgot to attach.

Thanks Miggy Bill, I cant make out what it is, I will stop and have a look next time I am passing. A stained glass window was in the building that was there before i wonder if they save that?

It's just a date stone showing 1862.

Ah thank you
