Concert tribute to Horbury architect
A CONCERT to celebrate the life and times of 18th century Horbury
architect John Carr will be held next month at the church he designed.
The Arioso Baroque ensemble will perform music composed during John
Carr’s lifetime – 1760 to the early 1800s – at the recently refurbished
St Peter and St Leonard’s Church.
The church was originally built by John Carr, the 18th century architect
and Lord Mayor of York, whose body lies in the church crypt. He was born
in Horbury and paid for the building as a gift to the people of the town.
