This West window sums up the nature of the present building - the gift of Lady Ashburton (in the right panel) in memory of her daughter, Mary Florence, in the left panel, who kneels beside Mary like one of the Three Kings to offer her riches to God.

Underneath runs the text, “inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

One of the most striking elements of the building which architect Fred Bath created for Lady Ashburton is the sense of space. The seating capacity of the church is surprisingly low, but the Nave soars up to the roof, as this view from the Chancel step back towards the West Window shows.

In pride of place at the back is the font, presented by Harford Olden in 1904, in memory of his uncle and son.

And here’s the mystery of the East End - the Communion rails, the altar table forward in the contemporary fashion, the magnificent East Window, to which this image does no justice. Indeed the Stained Glass windows of St Leonard’s would be worth a booklet in their own right.

One of the features of the church is the way that items from the two earlier buildings are incorporated into this latest church. The white plaque, on the left of the picture, seen in detail immediately below, remembers the Revd William Tomlinson, Rector from before the demise of the first church almost throughout the life of the Victorian building.

Also below is the tablet commemorating Mary Fortune, who died either in 1697 0r 1698, depending on whether you were counting by the Julian Calendar or the Gregorian one.
