The Church of St Leonard is a redundant church in Chelwood, Somerset, England. It was built in the 14th century and has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.
The church was largely rebuilt during restoration around 1860.
The font is Norman with tiny volutes at the edges and a top frieze of something like lambrequins. These have been described as the remains of locking staples used to prevent witches stealing the holy water. The stained glass has various 16th-century Flemish bits in the south aisle window.
The two stage west tower contains a bell dating from 1773 and made by Abraham Bilbie of the Bilbie family.
