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.

Parish church Church 'mostly by G. E. Street 1871-2' (Pevsner, p. 513). Plans of the church pre- restoration in the Borthwick Institute show a west tower with doorway and arch to nave, a narrow nave without any doorway, and a rectangular chancel, with doorway on S wall; a N arcade to the nave with sections of wall at the W and E respond, indicating the arcade was inserted into the first N wall. Of the original plan, the tower, nave S wall. Chancel S wall, E wall and part of N wall still form part of the church. However, no sculpture survives in situ. 12thc pieces are now all in S porch. The fragments are of a variety of stone, and not all have worn well.
