St Leonard's Church, Walton-le-Dale

[1] In 1864 the chancel was restored by E. G. Paley at the expense of Sir Henry de Hoghton and Richard Assheton; it was re-roofed, re-floored and refitted, and a reredos in Bath stone was added.

[3] The nave and transepts were completely rebuilt in 1902–1906 by John Pollard Seddon; St Leonard's was his final project.

[2] The new nave and transepts were built on almost the same plan as the previous ones because of the close proximity of graves surrounding the church.

[1] St Leonard's was designated as a Grade II* listed building on 24 March 1950.

[4] The plan consists of a nave, chancel, transepts, a west tower and a north porch.

[4] On the west side there is a three-light, four-centred, arched window with Perpendicular tracery.

[4] They were constructed from the material (local Hoghton stone) of the same parts that were replaced in the early 20th century.

[4] The size of the double transepts gives the impression of the church being longer internally north–south than it is east–west.
