A warm welcome awaits you at St Leonard's church.

We are a lively and friendly congregation, with a good mix of ages, from babies to 90- year olds. Outgoing and at the heart of the village community. Our beautiful church was built in 1080, and the main entrance is through a fine early Norman doorway. Churchmanship is "upper central": reserved sacrament, vestments, mix of services including sung Eucharist, Book of Common Prayer Evensong, Family Services and very informal Village Worship. We were  recently visited by a Mystery Worshipper, who rated our worship 9/10 "very good", and was impressed by our hospitality and friendliness. You can read the full report by following the "Mystery Worshipper"  link in the sidebar on the right of this page.

New volunteers, whether experienced ringers, absolute beginners or anywhere in between, are always very welcome.

Our robed choir of men, women and children sings at the sung Eucharist twice monthly, and we also have an augmented choir (not robed) which learns music for special events and concerts. If you love to sing, and would like to be part of either choir, please get in touch with Barbara Marsh on tel 02476 304295; email [email protected].
