My mother, Elizabeth Joan Rogers, grew up in Ryotn-on-Dunsmore, adopted daughter of her uncle Walter Rogers. She was married in St. Leonards in 1945. I am her only daughter. I spent several summers in Ryton-on-Dunsmore, visiting the butchers next door, passing the pub across the street and sitting in the churchyard. Ultimately, I would like to leave my mother's ashes to rest in the churchyard when I return to England to retire in 1 year. England has changed so much but we must all try to preserve its history, beauty and St. Leonards is an example of that.

Hello St. Leonard,

Miyong and Kangmin remembers this church as a beautiful one and church goers as very kind. I would like to reach Marilyn & John who were lovely neighbours while Miyong and My family were living on 22 St. Leonard's Walk. Anybody who knows them, please tell them about this posting. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this page !! My ancestors, Thomas Clay and Ann Checkley were married at this church on 18 July 1766. It is such a beautiful church, and is really great to see so many pictures. It somehow brings the past to life and is now definately on my list of places to visit. Thank you again. Iris Clay.

How thrilled I was to see this website with a picture of the stained glass window in memory of my great-great grandmother Anna Latty Wedge. My great-great grandfather John Jaques Wedge was the curate of St Leonard's at the time of her death. Thank you so much for making all this information available to those of us who live far away from Warwickshire.

Thanks. I hope to add some recordings of bell ringing next year so I hopefully I'll be able to arrange a return.

Thank you for visiting St Leonard's. We are very fond of our old church and your photos do it justice. We hope to be able to welcome you again.
