Leeds Cathedral

I am usually more interested in churches for their aesthetics and history rather than to take part in a service, so my timing was maybe not ideal when visiting Leeds Cathedral. I had passed by before and admired the beautiful facade. Being in my powerchair, I was discouraged by all of the steps leading up to the main entrance. When I came back with more time to look for an accessible entrance – and found it – it happened to be during mass. I tried my best to keep a low profile and not disturb the congregation, but that also meant that unfortunately I could not ask any questions about features such as toilets or hearing loops. The usher who welcomed me in was very friendly, though, and told me that I would be able to take communion in my chair, so I assume that the church has put some thought into accessibility and would be happy to answer any of your questions if you asked them in advance of attending mass.
