The churchyard is enormous and much of it is left to grow wild as a nature reserve. The Anglican parish church of St Mary Magdalene has parts from the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th centuries and was restored in 1865, 1896 and 1925. Constructed of roughly coursed rubble stone with some brick, partly rendered with ashlar dressings. The roofs are a mixture of lead and Welsh slate. The church contains many memorials. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1349757 The village of Leintwardine is in the far north of Herefordshire, close to the border with Shropshire, some 7 miles east of Ludlow and 7½ miles west of Knighton. The village was founded as a Roman station (Bravonium), with a mansio and baths, on the road between Kenchester (Magnis) and Wroxeter (Uriconium). The Rivers Clun and Teme have their confluence near the village.
