Clifford - St Edward King and Confessor Church
Saint Edward King and Confessor Church is a Roman Catholic church in Clifford, West Yorkshire. The Church is the largest in Clifford and its tall tower is the most prominent structure in the area. It is a grade II Listed building and serves Clifford and the surrounding villages.
The Church was built to serve the population of Irish workers that came to work in the flax mill owned by the Grimston Brothers that was established in the village in 1831. The Grimstons, Cliffords and Vavasour families contributed to the cost of building the Church. It was built in the Romanesque style by J.A. Hansom to designs by Ramsay between 1845 and 1848. The Church was built on the site of a former Wesleyan Chapel, hence its location on Chapel Lane, where it joins the High Street.
