Welcome to St Leonard's Church - a beautiful church with unique Art Nouveau wall paintings and rood screen. A grade 2* listed church, it sits at the western edge of the village of Ipstones on the site of an older church. Its a lovely space, much larger than it seems from the outside, light and airy, and a  wonderful peaceful space to just spend time in. Exploring the many unusual features is also a great thing to do - from the memorials to the Anglo-Saxon arch, the new stained glass to the old. It has a very active Tower (bell ringing team) and the bells are rung for all services. On the junction of several footpaths, walkers are welcome, and it's fine to eat your picnic inside if the weather is rough. It has at least one service a week, usually at 11.00am. It is very much loved by its community, well maintained and at the heart of the history of the village.
