St Leonard's Churchyard Garden (also known as St Leonard's Parish Churchyard, The Actors Church)

Introduction

The churchyard was laid out with paths, areas of lawn, shrubberies and flower beds; most gravestones were cleared, although some remained along the back of the church and on the north wall of the Clerk's House. C18th cast-iron railings and wrought iron gates remained, and the stocks and whipping post under a thatched roof were in the north west corner of the site.
