Description

The Church of St Leonard is a chapel located in Ingleton, dating from the late 17th century with alterations from the 18th century and a restoration in 1869. The building is constructed of slobbered squared limestone rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. It features a south entrance porch, a west bellcote, a three-bay nave, and a one-bay chancel.

The south porch has a mid-19th century chamfered round arch, along with moulded impost blocks and a keystone, topped with a cruciform finial. Inside, there is a mid-18th century round arch with plain jambs on moulded bases, imposts, and a moulded keyed round arch leading to a plank door. The west bellcote, likely from the mid-18th century, is corbelled and gabled, featuring an open pediment to the west and a keyed basket arch for the louvre on the east. The chapel has a single light west window with a chamfered round arch, and two two-light chamfered windows with round heads and cavetto mullions in the nave. The chancel includes a three-light chamfered mullioned window and an east window with two lights and round heads, featuring 17th century jambs and sill, a circa 1980 mullion, and a mid-19th century head with an oculus above. A mid-19th century cruciform finial crowns the structure.

Inside, the chapel boasts four bay king post roof trusses with moulded king posts and V struts to the principal rafters, restored in 1869, along with projecting mid-19th century common rafters. A mid-17th century altar rail with turned balusters and moulded rails adds to the interior's historical character. A white marble memorial on the west wall of the nave features foliate brackets, a Tudor arch, and a raked embattled parapet on a dark marble backplate, inscribed to commemorate those who lost their lives in railway construction between Settle and Dent Head, erected by their fellow workmen and the Midland Railway Company between 1869 and 1876.
