Description
The Church of St Leonard is a parish church built in 1877 by G Truefitt, incorporating medieval materials. It features coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and a graduated slate roof. The church consists of a nave with a south porch and a chancel. The nave has three bays, with a south door dating from the 12th century, which has a semi-circular head made up of two orders: the inner is moulded and the outer is chamfered, both with a moulded label. There are two windows in the nave, each containing two trefoiled lights under a two-centred arch with a moulded label. The north wall mirrors this with two similar windows and includes a blocked 14th-century north door with chamfered jambs and a segmental pointed head. The west window has two cinquefoiled lights under a square head. Above the gable is a bellcote that houses three bells.
The chancel features two windows on the south wall; the western window has one ogee trefoiled light, while the eastern has two cinquefoiled lights with tracery in the square head. The north wall of the chancel has two lancets, one with a semi-circular head and the other with a pointed head. The east window consists of three trefoiled lancets. The roof of the nave has three bays with arch-braced collar trusses, while the chancel roof has two bays.
Inside, the 12th-century chancel arch is two-centred and consists of two orders with a moulded label; the outer order is chamfered and continuous, while the inner order springs from corbels with short shafts. In the north wall of the chancel, there is a small 14th-century tomb recess with a moulded two-centred arch and label. Notable fittings include a font with a 12th-century bowl featuring cable moulding at the neck, supported by a 19th-century stem. The communion rail is from the 17th century and has turned balusters. The pulpit is composed of 17th-century woodwork, including similar balusters and enriched panels.
