St. Leonard's Church was restored as a stone building by the Normans in the 14th century. It was dedicated to a French Saint, Leonard of Limoges - the patron saint of prisoners. The Horringer Parish Register dates from 1588, the year of The Great Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I. The registers from 1588 to 1850 were edited and published by Rev. Sydenham Hervey. The Hervey family funded the restoration of this church, and to their credit, they had the 13th century font restored with the shields of other prominent area families, leaving the Hervey family shield off. Those families were the Brooke, Gipps, Jermyn and Lucas families.
