Description
The Church of St Leonard is a parish church that was originally a chapel of ease to Aston Clinton, likely dating from the 15th century. It underwent restoration in the 17th century and again in 1845. The church features a nave and chancel combined, with plastered walls and a tiled roof. At the west end, there is a wooden bell turret topped with a small tiled pyramid spire. The south porch was added in the 19th century, and the church has 15th-century windows. Inside, the nave boasts 16th-century arch-braced roof trusses, and there are early 18th-century wall tablets.
