Leeds Cathedral, the Cathedral Church of St Anne, was designed by John Henry Eastwood, with much of the work done by his assistant Sydney Kyffin Greenslade. The article names no client beyond the Diocese of Leeds. The infobox gives 1901 to 1904, and the text says work began in autumn 1901 and the cathedral opened in 1904. The infobox lists Neo-Gothic, and the text describes Arts and Crafts Gothic Revival.
The cathedral is built of Weldon stone with Ketton stone details. It is small because of its restricted site, with an aisled nave and chancel, narrow transepts, no wings and a small tower at the northwest corner.
The earlier St Anne's Church of 1838 became a cathedral in 1878 and was demolished around 1900 after a compulsory purchase to widen The Headrow. A renovation ran in 2005 and 2006, and The article gives no hours.
