Abandoned Victorian Church Up for Auction | Leeds News

An abandoned Victorian church in Morley, St. Mary’s in the Wood, is hitting the auction block after 15 years of silence since a devastating 2010 fire — starting at just $47,500. Listed as Grade II, this historic building dates back to 1876–78 and was once built on the site of an even older church. Though it ceased being a place of worship in 2008, its future may lie in redevelopment: a 2012 plan to convert it into 18 apartments and 4 homes — backed by English Heritage and the Victorian Society — still looms large. Auctioneers call it an unusual opportunity, with that expired planning permission adding intrigue for buyers eyeing its potential rebirth. The hammer drops September 30.
