- Leigh, Wiltshire (All Saints' Church)
All Saint's is now just a chancel, the remains of a Medieval church near the source of the Thames that was abandoned to its wetland surroundings in the 19th-century when the rest of the church was removed to a drier and more convenient site.
The arches, windows and other features date from the 13th-and 15th-centuries and the east gable of the old nave was left to protect the chancel arch.
There are 17th-century texts painted on the walls and framed in designs of clouds and scrolls.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Level entry across a grassy churchyard (this is often very wet).
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

A stunning setting for quiet reflection (I am sure the meadow in "full flower" is well worth coming back for).
Signage and access was a bit of a problem
