St John The Baptist Church, Church Lane, Adel, Leeds

This is one of the oldest churches in the Leeds area, dating back to Norman times (11th-12th century). Unusually for such an old church, it was not developed, enlarged or extended in Victorian times.

Adel, St John the Baptist Norman Door Ring (1963)

The original Norman bronze piece shown was stolen in 2002 and was replaced in replica. The handle is in the form of a monster’s head, probably a lion, with a mouth swallowing a man.

Adel Church

St John the Baptist Church, Adel. Built 1170 on a prehistoric trade route between the East and West Ridings. Pevsner wrote that this is the most complete Norman church in Yorkshire. Apart from its celebrated Norman archway now protected by the porch structure shown here, an unusual feature of this church are the corbels.These are decorated in a similar grotesque style to that of the gargoyles at Ripon Cathedral which it seems they must pre-date.
