Description

LEIGHTON AND EATON CONSTANTINE C.P.,

SJ 60 NW; 2/90

LEIGHTON, Churchyard wall, Church of St Mary

GV

II

Churchyard wall. Early C18, repaired mid- to late C19. Red brick. Encloses roughly circular churchyard, a minimum of 0.8m high and a maximum of 2.5m high on south-west corner; the top re-built in C19 purplish brown brick on west and part of north sides. The steps, flanked by ball finials, leading to Leighton Hall (q.v.) at south- west corner are probably C19 and the lychgate at north-east corner (dated 1920) is not included. The shape and elevated nature of the churchyard suggest an early origin for the Church of St Mary (q.v.). A priest is recorded at Leighton in Domesday.
