The NAVE and CHANCEL were probably built around the first structure in 1360, in the reign of Edward III. This was during the Hundred Years War, just before the Peasant's Revolt and about the time of John Wycliffe's attempts to bring reform to the church in England. The TOWER was added approximately a century later.

In the CHANCEL there is a PRIEST'S DOORWAY in the south wall, where there are three SEDILIA or seats, possibly dating from the fifteenth century. There is also a PISCINA or sink. The HIGH ALTAR here was dedicated to ALL HALLOWS or ALL SAINTS.

The OAK ROOF of the chancel was given by Mary Frances Alice Lowther of Swillington House in 1902.

The VESTRY was re-built in 1880, but the doorway leading to it is old.

The ORGAN was given by E. Leather esq. of Leventhorpe Hall. Built by Hill & Son of London, it was dedicated by Bishop William Boyd Carpenter, the then Bishop of Ripon, on December 14th 1887. The organ was re-built in 1987 and re-dedicated by Bishop David Young the then Bishop of Ripon.

The chapel in the SOUTH AISLE was dedicated to St. Nicholas, and became the Lowther Pew, used by the Lowther family of Swillington House, Lords of the manor of Swillington and, until 1924, patrons of the Living. In 1890, fifteen coffins were removed from the Lowther vaults beneath their pew, and re-interred at the east end of the churchyard.

There is a RECESS in the wall of the SOUTH AISLE which probably dates from the 14th century. In it is a glass case containing a WOODEN EFFIGY of a knight, one of only about 50 in the country

At the east end of the NORTH AISLE was the CHAPEL of OUR LADY, and a bracket to the left of the pulpit probably once bore a statue of the virgin Mary. In due course this chapel became the Leventhorpe pew, used by the families of Hall, Green and Leather.

In the NAVE above the NORTH DOOR there is a hatchment with the ROYAL ARMS bearing the inscription G.R. 1723.

The stem, base and steps of the FONT are relatively modern, but the bowl itself is old, and the oak cover may date back to the 17th century.

The TOWER contains a peal of eight bells which were transferred from St. Matthew's, Holbeck in 1979. This work was done by members of the congregation and parish under the guidance of Mr. Guy Cox the Tower Captain. We have many visiting ringers as the bells are considered to be of high quality and excellently maintained. Anyone interested in visiting to ring our bells or learning to ring should contact Guy on 0113 2867417. Bell ringing practice is on Monday evenings from 7.30. p.m.

The three original bells remain hung in the tower one being used by the clock mechanism for the striking of the hours.
