Wren's Cathedral, Grade I listed church in Beausale Haseley Honiley and Wroxall, England.
The Church of St Leonard is a listed building with a three-stage west tower topped by an octagonal stone spire. Inside, it features marble Corinthian columns in the apse, traditional box pews, a polygonal pulpit, and a circular marble baptismal font.
This building began in 1315 as a chapel for Wroxall Priory, founded by Sir Hugh Hatton following his release from captivity. Sir Christopher Wren later acquired the estate as his country residence.
The cathedral contains marble Corinthian pilasters in the apse, along with period features including box pews, a polygonal pulpit, and circular marble font.
The location is easy to find at coordinates 52.3342 north and 1.6758 west. Regular Sunday services and ceremonies for weddings and funerals take place throughout the year.
Members of the Wren family are buried here, even though the celebrated architect himself rests at St Paul's Cathedral in London. This connection shows the family's lasting ties to the estate.
