Burton Leonard church, from the NE A Victorian church that doesn't get more than 5 lines of description in the updated Pevsner guide. St Leonard's dates from 1877. This apparently replaced a medieval church, of which nothing remains.

New bridge over the beck I photographed this beck crossing in 2009, but the bridge is not the same one. The gabion and handrail on this side have both gone, and the current bridge is longer with more rails and stanchions. The bridge doesn't appear to line up exactly with the path as shown on the OS map.

A stream revisited I took a photo here in the autumn of 2009 and commented about springs, but after checking out the first edition 6" map of the area, it looks as though I was mistaken. There are a lot of 'humps and bumps' in this area, as well as odd bits of masonry [as in the foreground of this photo], and it appears that this is the site of a former water mill - 'Burton Mill' which is described as a corn mill. The mill has long gone, and the mill race has been reduced to little more than a meandering ditch, but this must be part of it.
