Church Of St Leonard, Farleigh Hungerford

The Anglican Church Of St Leonard in Farleigh Hungerford, within the English county of Somerset, was consecrated in 1443. It is a Grade II* listed building. It was once within the outer walls of Farleigh Hungerford Castle but is now separated from it by the main road. Thomas Hungerford did not want the local peasants entering the chapel within the castle, and wanted to use it as his chantry, and as a result organised the construction of the new church. The church underwent Victorian restoration in 1856. The parish is part of the benefice of Hardington Vale within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
