All Saints Church, Leigh

All Saints Church features thirteenth-century stone walls, Gothic wooden beams, carved heads, and a late fourteenth-century porch with its original roof.

In 1896, the church building was moved stone by stone from its initial location to a more accessible spot on Swan Lane, half a mile south-east.

The structure maintains a collection of religious artifacts, including an 18th-century pulpit and chalices from the time of Elizabeth I's reign.

The church stands at coordinates 51.6283 latitude and -1.91139 longitude, with improved access following its relocation to the current site.

The original font was discovered being used as a cheese press before being restored to its proper religious function within the church.
