St Edburga Church

Another gem. Well worth the visit with leigh Court Barn next door.

Un lugar magico, donde no paso el tiempo.

Ancient church of St Edburga in centre of the small village of Leigh, open for services. Large graveyard, unkept in the past so many graves overgrown with trees & ivy or buried beneath (now) well mown grass. Inside some nice stonework, stained glass and burial effergies, definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful Grade I listed church right next to a medieval wooden barn (Leigh Court Barn is under the care of English Heritage and makes visiting Leigh even more of a joy). St. Edburga's church appears to be regularly open to visitors during daylight hours, an impressive lofty church consisting of nave, chancel and south aisle, a modestly sized churchyard home to a medieval cross (at least, the base of the cross - the cross itself appears a little more recent), with the only drawback being a lack of obvious parking. Well worth a visit, I would thoroughly recommend - with particular highlights being the sturdy Norman-looking font and stone Christ-figure, formerly on an exterior wall and now mounted between two windows in the side-room/vestry/storage area.
