Church Of St Leonard

The Church of St Leonard is a Grade II* listed building located on Church Lane in Ab Kettleby. This church dates back to the 13th century and underwent repairs in the 17th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed squared ironstone and limestone, topped with a lead roof. The nave and chancel are combined into one space.

The eastern window features three lights with intersecting tracery and is flanked by diagonal offset buttresses. On the southeast side, there is a lancet window with a hood mould, while the middle south wall has a narrow one-light window with chamfered jambs and a stone lintel. The south door is partially blocked and features a chamfer and a triangular arched head, with the upper half now serving as a window. There is also a one-light window on the southwest side with a chamfered surround.

On the north side, a two-light window in the northeast corner has a chamfered stone mullion and a straight head. The north door features a chamfer, a depressed arched head, and a hood mould. An offset buttress is located to the right of the northeast window. The west end of the church has a faucet window positioned to the right of centre, with a hood mould above it, and a projecting bell-cote at the centre that has a single arched opening for the bell.

Inside, there is a font, likely from the 17th century, which has a 16-sided bowl, stem, and base. The eastern window contains a medieval stained-glass shield. The diamond-leaded quarries of the southwest window include several scratched inscriptions that document repairs, including those by H Truckwood in 1775, Wm Wainwright in September 1818, Wm Palmer in January 1827, and C Kingham in 1889.
