Church of St. Mary & St. Nicholas, Leatherhead, Medieval parish church in Leatherhead, England

The Church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas features a late 15th-century tower with large angle buttresses and perpendicular arches alongside a 13th-century French-influenced nave.

The church, established around 1001 AD, underwent significant modifications during the 19th century when architect Arthur Blomfield conducted renovations and uncovered historical plasterwork.

The interior contains artistic elements including frescoes of the Annunciation flanking the chancel arch, created by artists Buckeridge and Floyce, plus mid-19th-century stained glass windows.

The restored English pipe organ, based on 18th-century designs, supports regular services and recitals after its reconstruction in 2007 following a fire in the north transept.

The churchyard serves as the final resting place for Admiral Sir James Wishart and Anthony Hope, the author of The Prisoner of Zenda.
