The Anglican Church of St Leonard in Otterford, Somerset, England was built in the 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in the 14th century on the site of an earlier church.[2] In 1158 Henry of Blois, the Bishop of Winchester, granted the Chapel of Otriforde to the Taunton Priory.[3]
The church underwent Victorian restoration in 1860.[1]
The parish is part of the Blackdown benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
The limestone building has hamstone dressings. It has a three-bay nave and north aisle along with a chancel and vestry. The chancel barrel vault roof was built in the 16th century. Over the porch is a sundial.[1]
The two-stage tower is high and supported by diagonal buttresses.[1] [2]
