I saw several churches I’d liked to have stopped and looked at today (must check out the church at Diddington!). However, I was only able to stop and view this one, St Leonard’s, Southoe.
From the outside it looked quite promising. With numerous parts looking of very different vintages. The arch and pillars around the front door are terrific. They look really old. So it starts well.
But, truth be told, there wasn’t much of interest, to my eyes, inside. Still, I took a load of photos. One thing the photos don’t capture, sadly, is the very yellow light inside, thanks to the glass in the windows.
Once back outside, I spotted some nice demonic faces. And the building has a quite handsome exterior. These old churches, they’re nearly always worth a look.
There are also some nice houses in Southoe, such as Corner House, opposite the church.
