St George's Fields
& Ann Carr's grave
The chapel and six groups of original
monuments still remain within this former
cemetery in Woodhouse, Leeds. One
group includes the grave of pioneering
Primitive Methodist female preacher, Ann
Carr (1783–1841).
Ann subsequently led
(as 'Presidentress') the secessionist Female
Revivalists Friendly Sick Society. 'Ann Carr's
Chapel' in Leyland opened in 1825 and
was noted for its social work.
St George's
Fields are now within the campus of the
University of Leeds, and landscaped for
recreation, picnics and sports.
