Lovely shot. I Googled it and apparently it used to be a congregational church it was built in 1870 and closed in 1978. The architects were Lockwood and Mawson who designed Saltaire.
The spire is Victorian gothic.
The church was up for sale in 2007 and it was used for a while as a management consultants I believe. Not sure whether that is still the case now though.

@onewing Well done Babs, I tried to find out the name of the church and failed miserably, went around the back there were cars parked and a sign for Benson Pay Ltd ( Management Consultants) on the wall, looks like you got that spot on, thanks again for the information:)

A lovely image to show off this neat church. A bit frustrating that you couldn't find any history about it.

It is a magnificent looking church Peter, but what I'm drawn too is the "green" grass. :)

@novab Thank you Nova that green green grass is down to the unseasonal high volumes of rain we have received this winter:)
