The small village church in Drayton St Leonard has been worshipped in for over 800 years. Much of the Nave is Norman, with two fine doorways, although the Chancel was added later. Its most striking feature is the free-standing tower, built of massive oak and chestnut beams standing within the main building and rising through the roof to a height of 43 feet. Internally the Victorian restoration aimed to return the church to the style in which it was originally built, and we have inherited a building of simple charm.

Bellringing Practice
Our bellringers are always ready to welcome new recruits. Please contact Hilarie Rogers if you are interested - our ringers range from young people to pensioners, but the bells don't suit the very young. Practices are sometimes followed by social activity such as dinner and a drink in the Catherine Wheel.
