St Michael's East Ardsley: lych gate
The lych gate is close to, but distinct from the main churchyard entrance.
St Michael's East Ardsley: war memorial
The memorial is in the churchyard to the south of the church buildings. It is inscribed on all four sides with the names of the fallen of World War I, ordered by the year of death.
St Michael's East Ardsley: south side
The tower is a prominent local landmark and contains a peal of eight bells and a clock by Potts of Leeds.
St Michael's East Ardsley: south door
An unusual feature for a 19th century church is this Norman doorway, retained from the earlier building on the site. It is seen here through the outer security gate of the porch.
St Michael's East Ardsley: benchmark
Cut into the south-west corner of the tower, with a bolt, and still looking clean-cut. See SE3025 : Benchmark on St Michael's Church for a closer view. None of the older maps avaialble online seem to show it, but bench-marks.org.uk gives a value of 141.01m.
St Michael's East Ardsley: churchyard extension
The serried ranks of polished granite memorials make this look very much like a Council (secular) cemetery, but as far as I can tell it is an extension to the churchyard, just that a different style of memorial is permitted here.
St Michael's East Ardsley: churchyard entrance
The metal gate bears the name of the church.
Manhole cover, Church Lane, East Ardsley
A 'no-rok' circular cover by Lees of Gomersal.
Green space, Church Lane, East Ardsley
The housing beyond is relatively modern (at least compared with the 19th century church and hall).
St Michael's church hall, Church Lane, East Ardsley
The right hand side is the original Sunday School of 1837, and on the left the 'Jubilee Wing' of 1897.
St Michael's church hall, Church Lane, East Ardsley (detail)
Above the door are dates of construction (1837) and extension (1897). See SE3025 : St Michael's church hall, Church Lane, East Ardsley for context.
Blossom Cottage, Bradford Road, East Ardsley
The building is end-on to the road and comprises at least two dwellings. The road is the main A650 between Bradford and Wakefield, which is still busy despite most through traffic taking the M62.
Esso filling station, Bradford Road, East Ardsley
With a Tesco Express as part of the offering.
Derelict sheds, East Ardsley (1)
