St Leonard's was another of the cannon chapels linked to the nearby St Nectan's Celtic foundation at Stoke and the pretty thatched cottage here has a few remnants of stone tracery windows which must have come from that the original building. There is a tradition of a well located somewhere close to the cottage and in the past a dowser has commented on a flow of water passing beneath the site. Hidden in undergrowth and alongside the road just below the cottage is the remains of a stone well house, which still has an old tap which seems to have been fed from the original well in the garden above. An overgrown lane leads to the cottage from the direct road to Stoke and the hedges along this lane were dated to be at last 700 years old.
