You have entered the church through the south doorway and are standing in the south aisle, which is the original church, dating from the latter part of the 13th century. The main body of the church is of the 14th century and the tower was added in the 15th. In the Victorian period the church was heavily restored by Butterfield, but much of the original architecture remains. Until 1867, St Leonard's, at that time being a very small parish, was administered by a curate from Highworth, the Revd Samuel Forbes Auchmuty. In that year he was appointed the first rector, and a large rectory was built for his use at the east end of the churchyard. It was the Revd Auchmuty who initiated the restoration of the church in 1872, but he died before the work was started. The ancient coffer and box pews were taken away, the rood screen was moved to the entrance to the tower, and the Potenger Memorial was taken from the chancel wall and placed in the tower where it was largely unnoticed.
