Description
The Church of Saint Leonard is a small parish church with medieval origins, which was largely rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a west tower, along with a nave and chancel that are covered by a single roof. The tower, dating from the early 14th century, is constructed of coursed rubble and includes quoins, moulded projecting string courses, four traceried lights in the bell chamber, and an embattled parapet.
The north wall of the nave is made of rubble with brick dressings and has round arched 18th-century windows featuring wooden Y tracery. This wall was heightened with Charnwood granite when the chancel, also built of granite, was constructed in 1834 by the Packe family of Prestwold. The chancel includes pointed gothic lights with Y-tracery, a canted apse with a late decorated style east window, limestone dressings, and a priest's door with a traceried light above it in a continuous frame on the south wall. The south wall of the nave is made of 18th-century brick on a stone plinth and has two round arched windows.
Inside, the church features a west gallery that is wood panelled on columns and displays the royal arms. The roof, added in 1834, has pierced cambered trusses.
