What's new
  • God‘s Acre Flamstead
    God’s Acre is the cemetery in Singlets Lane, Flamstead, a few hundred yards from St Leonard‘s church. The land was donated by Sir Edgar Sebright in 1903 when the churchyard became full.
  • Rev. Cecil Russell
    The Reverend Cecil Edward Russell MBE was the vicar at St Leonard’s for 20 years, from 1937 to 1957. This means of course he was the parish priest throughout the second world war. He also wrote a history of Flamstead and the church, 50 years after the one written by his predecessor.
