Special Open Day

for 2 hours
St Leonard
Downham Clitheroe, BB7 4BN, United Kingdom

To mark the 100th centenary of Blackburn Diocese we are holding an Open Day on Friday 11th September between 14 00 and 16 00. There will be free refreshments and a chance to see a display of our special and historic items held in the church. Feel free to pop in and receive a very warm welcome

St Leonard

A beautiful church set in a stunning location. It is little wonder that Queen Mary is reported to say "the best view from a church in the whole country" 

St Leonard is a wonderful place to come and worship and all visitors to this special place are welcome to join us. We regularly worship following the Book of Common Prayer. 

We are a member of the Prayer Book Society and a registered Pilgrim Place.

We are only a small congregation, so your donations will help us maintain this wonderful church for generations to come. Thank you for your support.
