The gates are slightly ajar inviting passers-by to wander into the churchyard and examine Birdingbury's unusual Georgian village church. St Leonard's Church was built in 1775 to replace an earlier building which, according to contemporary reports, was in a decrepit condition; the building was heavily modified a century later. The land falls away from the road towards the River Leam so that from the lych gate viewers are looking down on the church building.
