St. Leonard's has a Perp west tower with a 19th C open balustraded parapet with pinnacles. Apart from the 14th C arcade of five bays, the church was largely rebuilt in 1872 by R.H. Carpenter & W. Slater, with Perp windows. The font is Norman, an octagonal bowl with incurved cones growing out of a cylindrical base. This font has a 17th C cover. There is stained glass in the church by Clayton & Bell 1886, and by Powell 1872 and 1895.
