A brief History if Chapel St Leonards

During the second world war Chapel played a major part of our coastal defences, infact there are still bunkers today that can be found in the sand dunes at Chapel Point.

The name Chapel St Leonards relates to the Chapel of Mumby which was dedicated to St Leonard. Following on from a flood the Chapel was rebuild in the year 1572, constant rebuilding continued after this with numerous extensions to the building.
