THRYBERGH ST LEONARD
St Leonard’s is a very interesting old church with Saxon origins dating back to 900 AD. A number of periods of construction can be seen in its walls, including signs of a Norman apse. Much of the current structure is Norman, with the tower and window arches dating from the 1400’s.
The church contains many fine memorials, with wonderfully elaborate carving and decoration. They include an Elizabethan memorial to the Reresby family showing eight sons and ten daughters!
There is also some beautiful 15th century stained glass and the belfry holds a stand of 6 bells.
