Harrison (1920), who does not mention a font in this church, reports traces of 11th-century (Norman or pre-Conquest) work in the nave and tower in the mainly Early English period building. The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 5, pt. 1, 1997) notes: "There was a church in 1086. [...] The church of St. Leonard [...] Though much renewed in the mid 19th century, it retains its spacious late 11th or 12th-century proportions, with an original lancet and external rendering in the north wall, and plain north and south doorways, the former blocked." There is no mention of a font in the VCH entry for this church. The Susses Parish Churches site [www.sussexparishchurches.org/content/view/558/33/] [accessed 25 September 2012] shows a view of the west end of the nave with the a font in it; it must be the replacement font introduced in the mid-19th century renovation of this church. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
