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.
