Dist:0.8km<br/>An unusual, if not unique church dedication to St. Leodegar at Wyberton. According to 'The Book of Saints' (1966), St. Leodegarius lived c616-678 and was the nephew of the Bishop of Poitiers. In 653 he was made Abbot of the monastery of St. Maxentius, where he introduced the Benedictine rule. On the death of King Clovis II he assisted St. Bathildis, the queen regent, during the minority of her son Clotaire III. In 659 he became Bishop of Autun and imposed the Benedictine rule on all monasteries in his diocese, but his affiliation with the court incurred the wrath of the tyrant Ebroin, who had him degraded, imprisoned, blinded and murdered. He is widely venerated in France as St. Leger. The church itself is Mostly Perpendicular in external appearance, but internally Early English and once had a central tower on a cruciform plan. The west tower is 15th century and the strange polygonal apsidal chancel is obviously Georgian.
