St Leonard's Church, Downham, Gothic parish church in Downham, England
St Leonard's Church features a prominent west tower, constructed from sandstone with a slate roof and decorated with perpendicular tracery windows.
The tower section of St Leonard's Church dates from the 15th century, while the remaining structure underwent reconstruction between 1909 and 1910.
The church displays numerous monuments dedicated to the Assheton family, including a piece created by Richard Westmacott for Frances Arabella Assheton from 1835.
