Who are we?

Our Management Team

​St Leonard's Management is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered charity  number 1196963. There are currently four trustees: Sebastian Bowen, Gordon Ewing, William Ponsonby-Talbot and Stefano Street.  The Trustees have overall responsibility for St Leonard's Management, and all day-to-day decisions about the church building and the 12th Century Bell Tower are made by the Management Team: see right.

What do we do?

In 2010 the PCC handed over responsibility for the day-to-day running and the maintenance of the building to St Leonard's Management. Since then St Leonard's Management has been responsible for the upkeep of the church. In 2021 a new team of three volunteers agreed to become trustees, and St Leonard's Management became a registered charity. There are now 4 trustees, each with designated oversight of key areas of our work - see above.
​
We are responsible for:
- the day-to-day maintenance and repairs;
- staff costs;
- cleaning; *
- all the utility bills; *
- insurance;
- major works such as the new heating system.
* The community shop contributes a proportion of the utility and cleaning costs.
