Old Grammar School, Middleton
Thomas Langley, Prince Bishop of Durham and Chancellor of England, rebuilt the Parish Church of Middleton - his home town - in 1412, at that time he endowed a charity school. This was the original foundation of Middleton Grammar School. The building was completed in 1586 - quite a delay!

St Leonard's Parish Church, Middleton
A notable feature of the exterior of St Leonard's Church is the curious wooden belfry; St Leonard's Church has one of the three remaining wooden church towers in existence in Britain. Described locally as "a wooden steeple for stubborn people", the wooden belfry was added on top of the mediæval tower in 1666, to enable a new set of bells to be added. It has been suggested that wood was used because the sandy foundations of the tower would not bear the additional weight of a stone extension. Another theory is that the wooden structure would allow a sweeter tone to be heard from the bells.
