A chapel was first constructed in Leeming in 1424, with a bequest from a traveller who had fallen ill in the village.
[1] It survived the English Reformation by becoming a chapel of ease to St Lambert's Church, Burneston, but was ruined by 1838.
[3] The church is built of red brick with stone dressings and a tile roof.
It consists of a nave, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower.
The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a doorway with a pointed arch, a chamfered surround and a hood mould, two-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles.
