The Church of St John the Evangelist is a Grade II* listed church situated in what is now the City of Bradford, in Yorkshire, England. [1] A private chapel was constructed here in 1766, which later became a chapel of ease of the Church of England, usually known as Bierley Chapel. That was a misnomer in the sense that it lay not in the Bierley township, but in neighbouring Bowling; the name came from the North Bierley estate to which it was originally attached. In the middle of the 19th century it became a parish church with the current name.
To the north of Bierley, it was built in 1766 by John Carr as an estate chapel for Richard Richardson (1708–1781) of Bierley Hall. [2] It was consecrated in 1824. In 1828 and 1831 it was enlarged, when the north transept and a west porch were added. [1] A parish was attached to it in 1864. [3] It is now a Grade II* listed building. [1]
