Description
The Church of St Leonard is a Grade II listed building completed in 1878. It is constructed of ashlar with a red clay tile roof and features a three-bay nave that includes a south porch and a west bellcote, along with a two-bay chancel. Designed in the Gothic style, the church has two- and three-light Decorated traceried windows with hoodmoulds, a moulded string at sill level, and stepped buttresses at the angles and between the bays. The porch has a double-chamfered arch, with blind tracery and a statue in a niche above it. The west end has a paired two-light window, while the east window is a five-light design. The bellcote houses a single bell beneath a pediment topped with a cross. Inside, there is a high and wide chancel arch with painted lettering above. The east window depicts an Ascension scene and is signed "J. B. CAPRONNIER BRUXELLES FECIT 1879". This church was built on the site of two earlier structures, the first of which was completed by 1242 and rebuilt in 1782. The current church was largely funded by Mr. James Brown of Copgrove Hall, and a notice on the church door indicates that a £60 grant was received from the Incorporated Society for Building of Churches in 1877.
