Background
History
In 1825, the original St Mary's Church was the first Roman Catholic church to be built in Bradford after the reformation. It was rebuilt from 1874 to 1876, but closed in 2008. St Patrick's Church was founded by Canon Thomas Harrison who was priest at St Mary's Church. In 1850, he went about buying the site for St Patrick's Church. He had to buy the land through an intermediary because of the anti-Catholic sentiment in the city.
Architecture
In 1852, building work started on the church. It was designed by George Goldie. On 13 July 1853, the church was opened by the Bishop of Beverley, John Briggs. In 1855, it became its own parish. In the 1860s, the interior decoration of the church was completed. In 1866, a neighbouring presbytery was built and in 1869 a south porch was added to the church.
