caption_attribution_description: Pre-1914 postcard of St Bartholomew's church, Armley, West Yorkshire, England. Designed by Henry Walker and Joseph Althron, and consecrated in 1877. Dated by style and quality of print, and also the requirement for a half-penny stamp on the back (which is unused). The church on the left is the previously-existing chapel which was demolished in 1909. That old chapel was re-decorated in 1862 and that decoration included stone carving by Mawer &amp; Ingle.
context_page_description: Mawer and Ingle was a company of architectural sculptors, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, between 1860 and 1871. It comprised cousins Charles Mawer and William Ingle, and Catherine Mawer who was mother of Charles and aunt of William. The group produced carvings on many Gothic Revival churches and their internal furnishings. They also worked on civic buildings, warehouses and offices. Many of these are now listed by Historic England, and many of the surviving buildings are within Yorkshire. Their work outside Yorkshire included Trent Bridge.
context_section_description: The former St Bartholomew's Chapel, Armley, was founded in 1630. It was restored by architect Thomas Armfield of Manchester, the son of incumbent, in 1861 and was demolished in 1909. The present St Bartholomew's Church which replaced it, was built in 1872-1877. Between the 1870s and 1909, the two churches existed side by side. However the pulpit in the current 1877 building may be the original 1861 Caen stone one.
  
  The Leeds Times and Bradford Observer described the pulpit in 1861: 
  "... A beautiful octagon pulpit in Caen stone with marble pillars, and panels with medallions containing figures of Christ and the Evangelists in relief, carved by Messrs. Mawer and Ingle ... the designs furnished by Mr Armfield, architect, the son of the incumbent, under whose direction the whole of the restoration has been carried out." (Leeds Times 28 December 1861)
  A reredos was designed in 1871 for the new St Bartholomew's, designed by Henry Walker (1844–1922) and Joseph "Josh" Athron of Leeds, but it is not known whether Mawer was employed in its execution.
