The village of Leckford is located in the Test valley, north of Stockbridge. The church of St Nicholas has a wide barrel-vaulted nave with a bell turret over the W end and a chancel with an organ chamber on its N side. There is a S porch and a blocked N doorway.

Leckford church belonged to the Abbey of St Mary, Winchester. The advowson and the manor remained with the Abbey until the Dissolution.

Several square, arcaded Purbeck marble fonts survive in Hampshire. They are similar to Sussex marble fonts, but display smaller molluscs. Fonts of this type are usually dated to the late 12thc or early 13thc. The Leckford example is dated to the late 12thc by the VCH and to the 13thc by Historic England, while Bullen et al. refer to it as ‘Late Norman’.
