Although Roundhay St. John's has never been officially assigned a parish, the term 'parish' has been used throughout this book to denote the area served by the church.

It is a matter of some concern to the authors, that, owing to lack of space, the names of all the men and women who have contributed to the life of the church in the last 141 years could not be mentioned. Some more prominent than others; all served their church devotedly and energetically; each in his particular capacity did his utmost.
