Church Of St Leonard

The Church of St Leonard is a building with elements dating back to the 11th century. Significant alterations and additions were made around 1849 by Henry Hakewill. The church is constructed of a mixture of flint and stone rubble, with a section of limestone rubble laid in a herringbone pattern below the eaves of the nave. The tower and apse are of squared stone, and the roof is covered in old plain tiles.

The church comprises a nave, south aisle, chancel and apse, with a west tower. A 6-panel door with wrought iron hinges sits within a 19th-century Romanesque doorway, which has a blind tympanum to the right of the nave. The fenestration largely consists of irregular 19th-century Romanesque lancet windows, with the exception of a 14th-century style paired, louvred lancet to the tower, featuring a pyramidal roof. The rear of the church has a 19th-century plank door to the left of centre of the aisle, and 19th-century lancets to the aisle. The nave clerestory features 19th-century trefoils. Inside, the chancel has a roof of arch braced collar trusses with two tiers of windbraces, while the nave has a king post roof. The aisle has a lean-to roof. The apse contains wall paintings by G.D. Leslie dating from around 1889. A reset carving of indented nail-head form is visible on the chancel face of the apse arch, with basketwork capitals to the columns and carved faces to the responds of the arch. The chancel arch includes a reset carving of tablet-flower form with basketwork imposts on the nave face. A 19th-century south arcade features three Romanesque arches. A collection of late 18th-century funerary monuments are located on the north side of the nave.
