About St Mary the Virgin
St Mary the Virgin stands on Church Street in Elland, West Yorkshire, and serves as a Church of England parish church. It belongs to a benefice shared with All Saints, Elland, within the Diocese of Leeds. The parish follows traditions ranging from central Anglican to modern Catholic. The church has held Grade I listed status since 1968.
Although the recorded building date is 1201, masonry in the chancel arch has been dated to around 1170–1180. Much of the surviving structure was built during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with restoration undertaken by W. H. Crossland in 1856. Architectural features include a tower at the western end and a small Sanctus bell turret above the nave gable. The east window contains fifteenth-century stained glass illustrating 21 episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary.
