Church of St Leonard

The Church of St Leonard is a parish church largely dating to the early 12th century, with significant enlargement in the early 15th century and the mid-15th century, and a restoration in 1877 by F Preedy. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a machine-tile roof. The church comprises a 15th-century nave with a north aisle (partly 12th century), a north porch, and a south aisle (15th century); the chancel was rebuilt in 1877.

The north aisle has three bays. To the left is a restored window of two cinquefoil lights under a two-centred head. A central window features three pointed lights under a two-centred head. The right bay contains a door and porch. The timber-framed porch is dated "TM 1633 HW" and has moulded bargeboards, with balustrades and turned balusters to the sides. The north door has a semi-circular head, roll moulding, engaged jamb shafts with carved capitals, and a tympanum depicting an archer with a dog shooting at a monster. The east window and flanking wall are 19th century. The west window is from the 16th century, featuring three lights with four-centred heads under a four-centred arch. The south aisle has three bays divided by stepped buttresses. All windows are 15th century, with three lights – the centre cinquefoiled and the flanking lights trefoiled, all under four-centred heads. A reset 12th-century door is located beneath the western window with a semicircular head and carved capitals to the jamb shafts. The west window of the aisle is similar to the other aisle windows; the east window is similar, but set within a 19th-century wall. The west end of the nave has a four-centred arched door below a four-light square-headed window. A 19th-century timber bellcote with a shingled pyramidal roof sits above. A small chapel has a reset 16th-century window in the north and south walls, featuring two cinquefoil lights under a square head; the east window is 19th century and contains three cinquefoiled lights under a pointed head.

Inside, the north arcade has four bays; two to the east were rebuilt in the 19th century, while the west bays are early 15th century. The piers are octagonal with four-centred arches. The south arcade is timber, dating from the mid-15th century, with five bays, octagonal columns, and arch braces connecting the columns to a wall-plate, forming two-centred arches. There is no chancel arch. The roofs are arch-braced collar trusses, with five plus two in the nave and chancel, supported by two 19th-century wooden columns leading to the bellcote. The north aisle roof features seven bays with statue niches under the corbels supporting the feet of the principal rafters. The south aisle roof has five bays. Three medieval cross slabs are set against the west wall of the north aisle. Architectural fragments from the 12th century are set into the south wall of the south aisle. The altar rail and pulpit are 19th century and incorporate 15th-century tracery fragments, possibly from a former rood screen. The east window of the chancel dates from 1928 and is by James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars. The west window of the nave was designed by Sir Edward Burne Jones and executed by Morris & Co in 1875. The west window of the south aisle contains 15th-century heraldic glass and depicts St George killing the dragon.
