Description

The Church of St Andrew Roundhay and Sunday School is a United Reformed Church built in 1901 and 1907, designed by architect W.H. Beevers. It features rock-faced gritstone laid in diminishing courses and a red tile roof. The church is aligned almost north-south and consists of a nave, chancel, transepts, and a southwest tower, with the Sunday School attached to the east end.

In the Gothic Revival style, the exterior includes mostly segmental-headed two-light windows with Perpendicular tracery, while the north transept and west windows have pointed arches. The polygonal apse has a gable over the central three-light window, flanked by two-light windows. The tall, slim three-stage tower has set-back buttresses, a segmental-arched doorway with a corner stone laid by William Derry on October 26, 1907, and a plinth inscribed with "W H BEEVERS A.R.I.B.A. Architect." The tower features a clock in a hexagonal panel, blind panels with cusped heads on the second stage, and a tall two-light belfry with segmental moulded heads. Gabled buttresses rise to pinnacles above a moulded parapet.

The Sunday School is a single-storey structure with two bays, accessed by steps leading to an entrance with a stepped hoodmould. A memorial stone laid by T.H. Dodgshun in November 1901 is located to the right of the entrance. The Sunday School also has a large four-light window with Perpendicular tracery in a gabled projection and a small ogee-domed ventilator at the ridge center.

Inside, the church features a five-bay nave with an open timber roof and wooden panelling to the dado. The dais has a composite stone floor decorated with pink fleurs-de-lis. The east window depicts the parable of the Good Samaritan in memory of James Risk, who died in 1907, while the north transept contains a four-light Beatitudes window in memory of Mary Elizabeth Harrison Derry, who died in 1901.
