St Leonard's Church's peaceful and tranquil setting is the perfect spot to enjoy the view over the Waveney Valley and the picturesque sails of Billingford windmill. The unusual low tower with its pyramidal roof is a mystery - did the tower fall down or was it just never finished? The majority of the church dates to the 14th and 15th centuries. The interior is charming and rustic. Notice the carved heads and angel on the nave corbels. More heads can be found on the medieval poppyheads of the pews and a particularly cheeky one has his tongue out. St Edmund's crown and arrows, the Trinity, St George and Evangelistic Symbols adorn the font, with lions on guard underneath. On the north wall of the chancel is a marble memorial to Christopher le Grys (d. 1601). Fragments of 14th and 15th century glass have survived. A photo shows six young men of Billingford Church Choir in their uniforms before heading off to the killing fields of war in 1914. Four out of the six never returned and are commemorated on the war memorial plaque in the church; only Sam Fisher and Leonard Bloomfield survived. Amongst the nine names on the memorial is that of Gordon Flowerdew who won the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy which can be awarded to British and Commonwealth soldiers. In 1918 Lieutenant Flowerdew lead "the last great cavalry charge". As the Germans entered Moreuil Wood from the east, Lieutenant Flowerdew's squadron advanced from the north. Riding into the fire of five infantry companies and an artillery battery, the squadron suffered enormous casualties (more than half of the men in C Squadron were killed), and Lieutenant Flowerdew was fatally wounded. However, the cavalry charge so unnerved the Germans that they were never able to capture Moreuil Wood, and their advance turned into a retreat in early April. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions. Gordon lived long enough to be told that the charge had been successful.
