Church Of St Leonard

The Church of St. Leonard is a Grade II* listed building located in Waterstock. It was originally built in the late 15th century for Thomas Danvers, Lord of the Manor. The nave and chancel were rebuilt in 1790 and restored in 1857 by the architect G.E. Street. The church is constructed of limestone ashlar and features stone-slate roofs.

The structure includes a nave, chancel, north aisle, west tower, and north and south porches. The chancel has 19th-century windows with Geometrical Decorated tracery, while the 19th-century vestry to the north has square-headed windows. The south wall of the nave, which has moulded eaves and a plinth, features a 14th-century style porch that shelters an elaborate four-centre arched doorway, flanked by two square-headed three-light windows, likely all designed by Street. The north side of the nave showcases 15th-century windows.

The 15th-century north aisle contains an arched three-light east window with Perpendicular tracery, along with three-light square-headed windows to the north and west. A small stone 19th-century porch with a trefoil arch provides access to a plain Tudor-arched doorway. The two-stage 15th-century tower has small openings with labels and a two-light arched Perpendicular west window.

Inside, the chancel arch and the two-bay north arcade feature concave-sided octagonal piers and responds. The interior fittings are all from the 19th century, including a painted metal-sheet reredos. Stained glass in the north aisle includes 14th and 15th-century donor figures in the cusped heads above an armorial window titled "The Genealogie of the family of the Asshehursts," along with 19th-century glass in the aisle's east window and mid-19th-century windows by Willement in the chancel and tower.

Notable monuments include a large wall monument to George Croke, who died in 1641, featuring a painted demi-figure on an inscribed plinth framed by Corinthian columns and topped with an open segmental pediment, as well as a Baroque cartouche dedicated to Francis Hinde, who died in 1720. The 15th-century work is attributed to William Orchard, as noted by John Harvey.
