Parish church 'Nowhere in the neighbourhood of Leeds can the archaeological growth of a parish church be better studied, with the survivals in situ, in spite of some destruction, from pre-Conquest days to the later middle ages and beyond, than at Bardsey' (Kirk, 1937). The church consists of a W tower of Anglo-Saxon date including belfry level windows, an originally Anglo-Saxon nave with Norman N and S arcades, chancel and tower arches cut into it and 14thc. N and S aisles and chancel. The 12thc. doorway was reset on the new S wall in the 14thc. and the W end of the Norman aisles are marked by the surviving simple windows adjacent to the tower. According to Kirk, restoration in 1909-1914 uncovered these windows and lowered the nave floor. It probably also accounted for the retooling of various features. Sculpture is found on the S doorway, capitals of arcades and various fragments.
