Description
The Church of St. Leonard is a Grade II listed building located in Sherfield on Loddon. It dates back to the 14th century and was largely restored in 1866 by Woodman, with further work on the tower completed in 1872 by J W Hugall. The church features a nave, chancel, and small northern additions to the chancel and the east end of the nave, along with a tower above the south porch. The roof is tiled, and the walls are constructed from flint with stone dressings, while parts of the base wall at the eastern end are made of stone rubble. The priest's door and west door have old stone frames, and there are remnants of 14th-century traceried windows.
Inside, the church has a Victorian interior but retains some older features, including a brass from 1590 and another from 1595, floor tomb slabs dated 1708 and 1735, a painted 'benefactors' panel from 1710, and a set of mid-19th century 'Gothic' prescriptions from the redundant church of Stratfield Turgis. The tower is a prominent feature, consisting of three stages with flat buttresses of flint and stone dressings, topped by a shingled broach spire.
