Photographs

This part of the website is intended to be developed over the coming months to include photographs of events held at the Church and of the Church itself.

It is hoped to provide interesting images of the Church building and Churchyard as time progesses.

Church Windows

St Leonards Church is lucky enough to have a fine collection of stained glass windows, commissioned for various reasons and completed by many artists over the years. 
There is stained glass in the church by William Wailes, 1849, Bosdet, 1905; and Evans, 1859.
Please click here for a link to an external site that has been set up to showcase our windows.

Garden of Remembrance

Several years ago Upton St Leonards Church created a Garden of Remembrance for internment of ashes. It is located just inside the main gate and provides an area within the Church yard for those who wish to pay their respects. Names have been added to the stone tablets of those who have been interned within the area.

To view a slideshow of the general area and the names enscribed on the stone tablets please

Please be aware that the file is 3.64MB and may take a while to download. 
It should open in Windows Media Player and play for 54 seconds.

Old Photographs

It is hoped that old images of the Church and surrounding area can be collected over the coming months and presented here, along with recent images of the Church. If you or your family have any old photographs/postcards of the Church/Churchyard or village, please contact me on the link at the bottom of this page. Thank you.
