The village of Drayton St Leonard lies about eight miles SE of Oxford on the right bank of the River Thames. The church, which was rededicated to St Leonard and St Catherine in 1988, consists of a chancel, a nave, and a N chapel, with a wooden S porch and a wooden belfry standing at the W end of the nave. The earliest part of the church is the nave featuring several 12thc features, including the S doorway and traces at the E end of the nave in both the N and S walls of windows that have been blocked. The church was restored by George Edmund Street in 1859 and a copy of his plan of the church is in Lambeth Palace Library.
