 St. Leonard's Church with the Alms House (as it was referred to in an early census, later called a lodging house) at 1 Church Lane is also in the picture.   Post 1868 as the extension is visibly blending in.  The scaffolding is there because the removal of the chimney in the Athorpe Chapel is in the process of been removed.
Picture
In the days before the bus stop and / or the Lock-up.  Notice the post box in the boundary wall. The extension of the Chancel could be quite recent circa 1868 as the cross marking the end of the church as it was is still visible and the ridge tiles on the extension are different.
Picture
The extension to the right has now been added.
