I believe Pat Gavan is the guy involved with the campaign, and has rescued some of the statues http://www.leedsliveitloveit.com/Visito ... .aspxThere are some photos of the Church here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/markscott/148923240/

Thanks, I went to St Mary's up to 1983, so I have an interest in it too.

Just popped back on the site & read the last messages, I left here in 1982, so you both must have been there at the same time as me...

Deffo,i was beginning to wonder if the person with the statues was the same guy who bought the church and then sold off all its contents.Could do with trying to contacr mr Gavan and see if you can get some snaps.

Phill, I'm sure I've seen a news item featuring a piccy of Mr Gavan with the stsues, it my have been a YEP archive item; shot in the dark, I wonder if the church schools may have some contact information? Given the close association it seems not impossible.
