Hello Listers I am sure there is someone on this list who help me with some much needed information. I now know that the above church has closed down but is still in situ. My paternal grandmother's brother has his name on the Roll of Honour in this church and I am trying to find out what is going to happen to this Roll of Honour. Ever since I found out that his name was listed there I have tried to contact the person in charge to try to get a picture. I have never had a reply. The Bradford FHS had an article in the Bodkin [quarterly newsletter] which showed the memorial but not close enough to make out any names. Does anyone have any news about this beautiful church? Many thanks. Judith K

Hi Judith St Marys was my church from 1945-60 and I was at the Junior Boys School next door until 1952.I left Bradford over 40 years ago but remember the church well.Unfortuneately I know nothing about the Roll of Honour but would the Bishop of Leeds Diocesan Office be able to help. I had no idea the church had closed although it doesn't surprise me with population shifts and considerably less church -going than there was years ago.

Hi Dennis Many thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated. It is a great pity that many of these beautiful old churches are coming to the end of their lives. My paternal gt grandmother who died in 1942 used St Mary's and it is one of her son's whose name is on the Roll of Honour. I will phone the diocese though and see if they know anything. I looked at the Telegraph & Argus [local paper] to see if they had any 'latest news' and, apparently, the building is to be put up for sale for development. Perhaps if I take it up with the T&A it might do more good in delving out information.
