  • Multiple dates available
  • | In person
  • | Pre-booking not required
  • | Site opening

Tours of the church, with its memorials to the Willoughby family and Robert Smythson, architect of Wollaton Hall. Come and turn the pages of the 'virtual antiphonal', the church's rare medieval service book. Trails and toys for children.

Four ways that St Leonard's Church is unlike any other!

- tower with passageway which has been open, blocked up, reopened and blocked again over the centuries - perhaps a unique sequence of changes
- monument to Robert Smythson, Elizabethan architect of Wollaton Hall, a very early example of a memorial to a tradesman and architect
- memorials to Sir Richard and Sir Henry Willoughby which each features a cadaver. St Leonard's is the only parish church in the country to possess more than one cadaver
- touch-screen access to the Wollaton Antiphonal, the church's rare and stunning medieval service book
