Description
The Church of St Leonard is a church located in Welbury, North Yorkshire. It has medieval origins but was largely rebuilt by Hicks in 1887. The building features coursed squared stone and ashlar, with graduated Welsh slate roofs. The church consists of a nave with a south porch, a lower chancel, and a north vestry.
The nave has three bays and includes a central gabled south porch with offset angle buttresses. The entrance features a double-chamfered pointed-arched doorway with a hoodmould. The windows are two-light, chamfered, pointed-arched windows with Decorated tracery and returned hoodmoulds. The stone coping has gableted kneelers and a gable cross, along with a double western bellcote that has ogee-arched openings and an embattled pediment.
The chancel is one bay and has a window similar to those in the nave, while the east window is in the Perpendicular style. It also features stone coping and a gable cross. Inside, the nave's south and north walls display pieces of reset Norman zigzag work, and there is a double-chamfered pointed chancel arch.
