St Leonard's Church, Bridgnorth, Medieval church in Bridgnorth, England
St Leonard's Church exhibits English Gothic architecture with circular piers, pointed arches, and a three-stage tower constructed from local red Bunter sandstone.
The church experienced significant damage in 1646 during the Civil War when its north aisle, used as an ammunition store, exploded from a cannon shot.
The interior features an octagonal font carved by Thomas Earp in 1894 depicting states of life, alongside stained glass windows created by Clayton and Bell.
Visitors can access the church from Monday to Saturday between 11 am and 3 pm, with stone paths providing wheelchair access through the churchyard.
The church contains cast iron memorials from 1692 to 1707, produced locally, and floor tiles that replicate medieval designs from Coutances, France.
