The Church Of St Leonard

The Church of St. Leonard is a parish church that was originally timber framed, with a west tower built in 1715 and the present church constructed in 1870 by architect Hussey. The tower is made of small bluish bricks laid in Flemish bond, featuring a high stone plinth, quoins, and coved bands that divide it into four sections. The church itself is built from red sandstone squared rubble and has a slate roof. It has a cruciform plan with a four-bay nave and a narrower, less lofty one-bay chancel, both designed in the Perpendicular style.

The tower has gothic revival windows, which were replaced in 1899 and are based substantially on "Y" tracery. It features clock faces on the north and south sides, a bullseye window on the west, and louvred openings at the bell stage. Additional architectural details include a moulded cornice, crenellated parapet, and crocketted pinnacles. The north entrance porch has a gothic opening flanked by single shafts with a drip mould above, while the sides have quatrefoil openings and the entrance to the nave is in the Perpendicular style. The windows of the chancel and nave are also in the Perpendicular style, with stained glass present in the chancel. The church has corner clasping and inter-window buttresses, along with a crenellated nave parapet.

Inside, the transepts do not develop significantly, being only one bench width. The chancel features choir stalls with poppyheads, flanked by carved screens that separate a small altar to the north and an organ chamber to the south. Side aisles are formed by a gothic arcade with octagonal columns. There is a 16th-century carved oak font cover. The nave has arched collar trusses with hammer beams and corbels that are carved with faces, and the ends of four hammer beams also feature faces. The chancel has arched collar trusses that extend directly from corbels.
