- Halifax Haley Hill, West Yorkshire (All Souls' Church)
This Halifax landmark is one of most magnificent buildings designed by architect Sir George Gilbert Scott and paid for by Edward Akroyd, a Halifax manufacturer.
Scott thought it his best church but he still lamented it was not grander still. Completed in 1859, it has a 72-metre-high spire and dazzling stained glass created by Victorian master craftsmen.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Difficult access due to steps.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

I visited All Souls' on Sunday last, 11 Sept 2011. The Church was open as part of this year's Heritage Day. My parents were married
there in 1944 and I was baptised at the Church in 1949.
I am pleased that the Church has been preserved. I was able to take some acceptable photographs of the stained glass and other fine features. It is tragic that the high quality organ was vandalised and the remnants had to be removal for storage.
I have records that members of my fathers side of family are buried there, My Great Grandmother was the 8th burial in the grave. May 25 1928. The grave was used from prior 1891
one of the most outstanding churches of its time, it has amazing stained glass windows and some fantastic stonework!
