St Leonard's Church, Downham

St Leonard's Church is in the village of Downham, Lancashire, England.

The tower has diagonal buttresses, and a west door with a moulded surround and a pointed head.

[2] Above the windows the bell openings have two lights and pointed heads, and at the top of the tower is an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles and gargoyles.

[1] Inside the church the arcade between the nave and the aisle has three bays and pointed arches.

The stained glass in the east window was given by Ralph and Richard Assheton of Downham Hall in 1869, and has been re-set by Shrigley and Hunt.

Shrigley and Hunt also designed a window depicting Saint Leonard, and dating from the early 20th century.

[2] The two-manual pipe organ was built by Forster and Andrews and moved here from Meols in 1909.

[6] The architectural historians Hartwell and Pevsner comment in the Buildings in England series that "the church is unostentatious, with no surprises" and, of the interior, "the impression is of calmness and generosity of space".
