St Leonard's Church, Sandridge
St Leonard's Church is in Sandridge, a village in Hertfordshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church. The building is Grade II* listed: notable features include its chancel arch made from recycled Roman brick. History Some sort of simple wooden church was probably made necessary in 796 when St Albans Abbey took possession of the Manor of Sandridge. However, the Domesday Book does not mention the existence of a church at Sandridge. Chancel arch, possible pre-Norman feature The oldest surviving feature of the present church is possibly the semi-circular head of the arch between the nave and the chancel, although the date of this uncertain. One theory is that it dates from 946. The brick may have come from a Roman site in the immediate vicinity of Sandridge or from Verulamium; the abbots of St. Albans are known to have had a stockpile of Roman brick, which was one of the materials used in the fabric of the abbey.Stalley, Roger.

St Leonard's Without
The church of St Leonard's Without is a small chapel built between 1230 and 1240 in the parish of Kirkstead, Lincolnshire, close to Woodhall Spa. The chapel lies close to the now-ruined Kirkstead Abbey founded in 1139. It served as the ''capella ante portas'' (Latin for chapel outside the gates) to the abbey and its name refers to its being "without" (outside) the walls of the monastery. A Grade I listed building, it is an excellent example of the Early English style. Even though measuring only by , it is up to "cathedral standards" of construction.

Old St Leonard's Church, Langho
Old St Leonard's Church is a redundant Anglican church northwest of the village of Langho, Lancashire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
