Today the primary school in which I work took 60 early years children to visit this beautiful church. We went to view the Christmas trees that are on display until Christmas. A full recommendation is given to this stunning church.

Visiting Halifax today for the first time in many, many years, Halifax Minster was on my list of places to see. It’s a magnificent building absolutely steeped in history-in fact it is the oldest Grade 1 Listed Building in Halifax and well worth a visit. Unfortunately my arrival coincided with the preparations for the funeral of an elderly parishioner so I didn’t linger, but I was able to take in some of the stunning stained glass and painted ceiling panels. I did see the organ and noticed how much beautiful wood there was throughout, from the very ornate font cover to the stunning pews and elegant chairs. The remains of Anne Lister’s gravestone (Gentleman Jack) are on display and she is buried there. There is a lovely, welcoming atmosphere in the Minster and it is obviously well used and revered by its congregation. I will definitely be back to explore more of the Minster.

Incredible staff who were knowledgeable and friendly telling us about the building and it's past. Able to answer a lot of our questions, point out things of interest to look at and genuinely loved the minster. Worth looking at even if not religious for it's history and beauty.

What an absolutely beautiful building to be able to walk into and admire not only from the outside but the inner craft i actually find my inner peace just walking around this place plus always admire it from a far that it has stood the test of time a total historical building . I would highly recommend a nice peaceful walk around the buildings then a glance at all the stained glass windows inside with the most amazing architecture structure to me this place is just incredible.
