St. Leonard's Without

St. Leonard's Without

The church of St Leonard’s Without is a small and ancient chapel built between 1230 and 1240 in the parish of Kirkstead, Lincolnshire. It is an excellent example of the Early English style and even though measuring only 12.8 m by 5.8 m it is up to “Cathedral standards” and may well have been built as a chantry chapel in memory of Robert de Tattershall who died in 1212. In use for many years as a church, it closed in 1877 (when the Presbyterian congregation were evicted) and from 1883 the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings fought to save it from total decay. Eventually during 1913 and 1914 it was restored by the architect Weir.

It lies close to the older and now derelict Kirkstead Abbey founded in 1139.
