Church Of St Leonard

The Church of St Leonard is an Anglican parish church built in 1840 by architect Sampson Kempthorne. It is constructed from cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof between stepped coped gables, topped with a western bell turret. The church has a two-cell plan consisting of a single-bay chancel and a five-bay nave, along with a south porch in the Gothic Revival style.

The chancel includes a chamfered plinth and a three-light east window with a label, designed in the style of the 15th century. There is a lean-to vestry on the north side, which has a pointed arch 'Y'-traceried diamond leaded casement in its east wall. On the south side, there is a three-cusped-light flat arched window and a simple four-centre-arched doorway to the left. The nave features a plinth and plain chamfered lancet windows without labels, with the second bay on the south side having a high cill to accommodate the porch. This bay also has a four-centre moulded outer arch and an iron gate.

Inside, the church has a plainly detailed design. The chancel ceiling is coved and boarded, painted blue with gold stars. A typical communion rail of the period is set across the plain pointed chancel arch. The nave ceiling features queenpost roof trusses, and there is a rear gallery with an organ supported by two cast-iron columns. Most of the fittings date from 1840, although the pulpit was replaced in 1948. There is a memorial plaque from 1797 on the north wall, while other memorials are from the 19th century, mostly post-1840. Additionally, on the rear wall, there is a hatchment of Charles II dated 1660, which has been overpainted for William in 1695.
