Tours of the medieval parish church of Wollaton, with its memorials to the Willoughby family and Robert Smythson, Elizabethan architect of Wollaton Hall. Come and turn the pages of the 'virtual antiphonal', the church's rare medieval service book.

St Leonard's special distinctive features are:

* Tower with passageway which has been open, blocked up, reopened and blocked again over the centuries - perhaps a unique sequence of changes
* Monument to Robert Smythson, Elizabethan architect of Wollaton Hall, a very early example of a memorial to a tradesman and architect
* Memorials to Sir Richard and Sir Henry Willoughby which each features a cadaver. St Leonard's is the only parish church in the country to possess more than one cadaver
* Touch-screen access to the Wollaton Antiphonal, the church's rare and stunning medieval service book
