Description

Leigh All Saints Old Chancel is the chancel of an old parish church, which became a mortuary chapel after 1896 and is now redundant. It dates from the late 14th century and is constructed of rubble limestone with a stone slate roof. The chancel and the west wall of the nave are notable features. There is a west door located in a low chancel arch, which is covered by a stone-tiled pentice roof that connects the raked walls of the nave.

The south chancel door, dating from around 1400, features casement moulding between hollow chamfers and a hood mould with mask terminals. The chancel includes a three-light ogee window with cinquefoil heads, as well as a three-light east window with a devolved ballflower hood mould. The gable of the nave has an opening for a sanctus bell and a gable cross.

Inside, the chancel consists of two bays, with the east bay elevated by two steps and featuring a 19th-century limed oak rail. The walls are plastered and contain seven 18th-century texts within cartouches, which were restored in 1983. Additionally, there is a piscina in the reveal of the south window, which has a trefoiled head and a rose in the bowl.
