Wren's Cathedral, Grade I listed church in Beausale Haseley Honiley and Wroxall, England.

The Church of St Leonard features a three-stage west tower crowned with an octagonal stone spire, weathervane, and ball finial at the summit.

The church originated in 1315 as the Lady Chapel of Wroxall Priory, established by Sir Hugh-Hatton following his release from imprisonment in Jerusalem.

The cathedral contains marble Corinthian pilasters in the apse, along with period features including box pews, a polygonal pulpit, and circular marble font.

Located at coordinates 52.3342 latitude and -1.6758 longitude, the church maintains regular Sunday services and hosts ceremonies including marriages and funerals.

Sir Christopher Wren acquired the estate as his country residence in 1713, and while he rests at St Paul's Cathedral, his family remains buried at Wroxall.
