Description of Archaeology and History
The lower part of the north roof of St Leonards dates from work carried out in 1870s to reorder and extend the church buildings footprint. There are no detailed drawings of the roof, but the 1840 plans show was an extension to add a transept to the nave, with a pitched roof with east and west facing slopes. The building footprint was extended in 1870 to add a complete north aisle and to extend for half the length of the chancel, and the present day lower roof replaced the pitched roof from the 1840s incorporating some of the stone work.
