The church of ST. LEONARD at Sand Hutton is a modern building consecrated in 1875 after the destruction of the older chapel. (fn. 244) It is in the Early English style, and consists of a chancel, nave, vestry and south porch. In the south chancel wall is a 15th-century window of two trefoiled lights under a square head, brought from the old church. Behind the altar is a modern painted reredos, and the western bellcote contains one bell. Two water-colour drawings of the interior and exterior of the old church are preserved in the vestry. They show a small rectangular structure with a western bellcote having a two-light east window, probably that still preserved, and several 18th-century openings in the south wall. The interior had a low-pitched barrel ceiling.
