St Mary & St Nicholas, Leatherhead Parish Church
Heritage Open Day: Grade II* listed & dating from the 11th Century, Leatherhead Parish Church is reputed to be the oldest building in Leatherhead in continuous use. It is notable for its early architectural features and completely restored 18th Century Organ. The earliest surviving part of the Church, at the far end of the Chancel, dates from just before the Norman Conquest in the reign of Edward the Confessor who owned the two significant “manors†to the North and South of Leatherhead: Thorncroft and Pachenesham (modern day Pacheson).
Built largely of “pudding stone†a conglomerate of flint and mortar, the Church was successively enlarged during the 14th & 15th Centuries. A Piscina and Sedilla were added and two transepts constructed either side of the Chancel.
