Old St Leonard's was abandoned in the 1860s when a new church was built.
It is now partially ruined and only the chancel (previously used as a mortuary chapel) still has its roof.
The chancel contains some interesting artefacts including benefaction boards, a bier, font, bell and many elegant memorials on the walls.

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.
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.
