An atmospheric partial ruin
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.
A free online audio guide to the church is availble here.
St Leonard's costs £2473 a year to maintain. Please contribute towards this cost by text donating:
