St Leonard's Church, Warmingham

St Leonard's Church is a church building made from red sandstone and brick with a cross-shaped plan, short side arms, and a west tower topped with a pitched roof. The main body of the church contains four bays in the central nave, creating a clear sense of forward movement toward the altar.

An original timber-framed building from the early 1700s once stood on this site, but was completely replaced. The current stone structure was built in 1870 following the architectural style of the Gothic Revival period.

The carved oak choir stalls with decorative tops and screens that divide the altar area from the organ chamber show the careful craftsmanship that went into the interior. These wooden features shape how the space feels when you walk through it.

The church welcomes visitors during regular services and opening times, and as a heritage-protected building it follows conservation guidelines. Plan your visit in advance to check current access times and any special conditions for entry.

The west tower stands out with small bluish bricks arranged in a distinctive pattern and divided into four sections by curved bands. The crown is topped with small pointed ornaments that give the tower a decorated appearance you do not see on every church.
