}}St Leonard's Church in Sutton Veny, Wiltshire, England, was built in the 12th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 28 May 1970, and was vested in the Trust on 27 October 1971.[3]

The cruciform church was started in the 12th century and revised in the 13th and 16th centuries,[1] and underwent a major restoration in 1831. It was originally linked to the Priory Church of St Mary, Abergavenny.[4] Subsidence because of low lying damp ground caused further damage, which had been repaired by the addition of buttresses in the 14th and 15th century,[4] and by 1866 the decision had been made to build a new church.[5] This was dedicated to St John the Evangelist, designed by John Loughborough Pearson and built on higher ground {{convert|700|yd|m}} to the north west, opening in 1868.[5] Only the chancel remains in usable condition and was used as a mortuary chapel.[6] It contains benefaction boards, a bier, font, bell and memorials on the walls. The Norman door dates from the 12th century.[7][4] The nave, transepts and crossing are ruined but remain as architectural features including a double-chamfered pointed doorway.[2][1]

There are two yew trees south east of the church. One which is now largely decayed has a girth of {{convert|14|ft|10|in}}, however it is not know how large it was when the tree was healthy.[8]
