The existing church of St Michael in Farnley dates from 1885, though built on the site of older chapels. Baptisms and burials were carried out here from an early period; some memorial stones in the church yard date back to the 17th century. Marriages were carried out at Leeds parish church until 1839. Known records date back to 1624.

St James Chapel is situate in New Farnley and Baptism records are available from 1894.

Farnley Hill Wesleyan Methodist Church was built on Stonebridge Lane in 1797. Still an active church today, the church itself is now a listed building
