Dr Simon Lindley 1948-2025

We're pleased to announce the arrangements for the funeral of Dr Simon Lindley. In accordance with Dr Lindley’s wishes, a simple funeral will be held at St John’s Church, Moor Allerton (LS17 7BZ) on Tuesday 8 April at 12 noon, followed by his burial in the churchyard there. A Requiem Mass sung to the music of Maurice Duruflé will take place at Leeds Minster on Thursday 10 April at 8.00pm. It is intended that a celebratory concert in memory of Dr Lindley will take place on Saturday 18 October – more details will follow when available. Everyone is welcome at any or all of these events.

The resurrection of Jesus proclaims that our normal world-order is turned upside down.

The powerful are brought low, and Love - God's Love, in all the vulnerability and weakness displayed in Jesus' death - is shown to be the key to life instead.

God calls us by name to live in and by this love. Nothing else matters.

Stillness in the City

We’re excited to present this short documentary about the history of the Minster by local historian Catherine Warr.

You can also see Catherine’s video about our bells and the history of bellringing.
