Church of St Leonard, Old Warden, Norman church in Old Warden, England

The Church of St Leonard features brown cobblestone walls with limestone facings, a square tower reaching 62 feet, and multiple architectural elements from different periods.

Established around 1150, the church underwent significant changes in the 13th century with a rebuilt chancel and later modifications to the nave in the 14th century.

The wooden interior contains carved panels from the 16th and 17th centuries, including sections from Anne of Cleves' chapel marked with her initials AC.

Located off Church Lane with a dedicated parking area, the church holds regular Sunday services at 8:45 AM except for the first Sunday of each month.

The south porch, added in 1952, displays the Latin inscription ISTO VELOCIOR VITA commemorating Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth, who died in an aviation accident.
