Description
English: The church of St Leonard in Billingford - medieval glass. Azure, a fesse between three leopard's faces or (De la Pole) (Source: Farrer, Edmund, Church Heraldry of Norfolk, 1885, p.2[1]) St Leonard's church > 1769271 is situated on a hill above the busy A143 road, surrounded by fields and adjoined by the Hall. Hall Farm is a little further to the north with its access road, which also serves as a public footpath, leading past the churchyard. The church has a curiously short tower and it is not known if the top has collapsed at some time or whether the tower was never finished. The nave north windows date from the 13th century. The baptismal font > 1769329 is original and has a cover dating from the 16th century. The font cover is contemporary with the fine Jacobean pulpit > 1769302. The pews were remade during a restoration in Victorian time but they retain the original medieval pew ends, some of them with carved faces > 1769305. The rood screen > 1769288 is original also but most of the paint has at some time been removed from the panels. The remains of a 13th century wallpainting > 1769321 can be seen on the south wall. Some of the windows contain fragments of medieval glass dating from the 14th century.
