[1] During the Civil War the Roundheads used the north aisle of the church to store ammunition, and this was ignited by a shot from a cannon in 1646.

[3] St Leonard's is constructed in local red Bunter sandstone, and has clay tile roofs.

[4] The tower is in three stages separated by string courses, with diagonal buttresses, and a northwest polygonal stair turret with a crocketted spirelet.

The south wall of the chancel has three three-light windows, the central one being shorter and over a priest's door.

The arcades are carried on circular piers with capitals carved with foliage by S. Poole.

The walls of the nave and aisles are covered in red-brown plaster, while those in the tower and chancel are bare.

The polygonal wooden pulpit, made by James Forsyth in 1862, stands on a large stone base.

In the centre is the Crucifixion, and on the sides are gabled niches with figures of the four Doctors of the Church.

At the east end of the south aisle is a chapel with a reredos designed by Charles Spooner for the Guild of Handicraft in 1898, containing a painting of Christ administering Holy Communion by Frank Smallpeice.

Also in the south aisle, and again of 1898, are a copper cross and candlesticks by Bainbridge Reynolds in Arts and Crafts style.

[3] Other glass by Clayton and Bell is in the windows in the south aisle of 1874 depicting saints, in the tower of 1873 showing subjects relating to baptism, and in the north aisle of between 1879 and 1908 depicting historical figures of the Church of England.

[1][4] In the north aisle is a plaque to Lieutenant-Colonel Harold Echaloz Welch (killed in action in France 1918) and in the south aisle a wooden shrine of English oak, surmounted by a representation of the Crucifixion of Christ, by Robert Bridgman and Sons of Lichfield, erected in 1922 as the parish's First World War memorial.
