St. Mary's Church, Swillington

St. Mary's Church is located on Church Lane next to Swillington Primary School, in Swillington, Leeds, Great Britain. There has been a church at this location for at least 900 years. The Domesday Book of 1086 notes that 'a church is there' but no other records of that building remain. The church on the site today is a Grade 2* listed building, over 600 years old, built around 1360. It is in need of repairs, especially the nave roof, estimated to cost around £250,000.
