St.
Matthew's is part of the Church of England,
belonging within the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds
and
within that, part of a group of Churches that make up
the Allerton Deanery.
Chapel Allerton,
north of Leeds,
West Yorkshire, is an active, lively, community
(see About My Area) which,
despite it's growth over the years, has not lost its
village feel.
St. Matthew's, along with our neighbouring
Churches meet
regularly to plan joint events, shared worship,
activities and resourses.
We are also exploring our links and making new friends
within other faith groups.
Visit the BBCs' website to view their Multifaith
Calendar.
Chapel Allerton has a thriving annual Arts Festival,
which all the Churches become involved with; we have a
wonderful Library,
an arts centre, a
good selection of shops and so many pubs, bars and
restaurants, you wouldn't know where to go first!
In 1880 The Chapel Allerton Conservative Club, now known
simply as The Chapel Allerton Club
opened
it's doors and is still going strong hidden away behind
the Methodist Hall. It's a private but friendly club
with some great snooker tables; there's a
tennis club,
a sports centre, a
park with a bowling club, tennis courts and a children's
playground; round the corner from the park, you'll find
the allotments and a
little further down still is Gledhow Valley
Woods, a
beautiful strip of woodland with bluebells, shady
woodland walks and a lake.
Chapel Allerton Good Neighbours, run by The WRVS,
meet in the Methodist Centre on the first Tuesday of the
month at 2pm. Theatre trips, good company, interesting
speakers and more.
If you live or work in Chapel Allerton, or you just love
