St Leonard's Church features a wooden tower, detailed stone carvings, and an ornate sixteenth-century hammerbeam roof spanning across the central nave.
The medieval door of the church contains musket holes from the English Civil War period, marking its involvement during this significant historical conflict.
The interior displays eighteenth and nineteenth-century screens, furnishings, and a 1901 mural above the chancel arch depicting religious scenes.
