"Leeds Minster, or the Minster and Parish Church of Saint Peter-at-Leeds (formerly Leeds Parish Church) is the minster church of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It stands on the site of the oldest church in the city and is of architectural and liturgical significance. A church is recorded on the site as early as the 7th century, although the present structure is a Gothic Revival one, designed by Robert Dennis Chantrell and completed in 1841. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and was the Parish Church of Leeds before receiving the honorific title of "Minster" in 2012. It has been designated a Grade I listed building by Historic England."

The clock faces are round and surrounded by stonework. They are white with a five pointed star made up of a diamond pattern within a circle in the centre all outlined in gold.
There are two small outer black circles within which are dots marking the minutes and between the inner black circle and the gold circle the hours are marked with black Roman Numerals. The hands of the clock are also black.
The clock was made by the Leeds based company Potts of Leeds. The company is still in existence and it is claimed that there are more than 1600 Potts clocks in existence around England.
