This is the oldest church in England still used by Roman Catholics — they were ejected from all their original churches (such as Malton Priory) at the Reformation, and only permitted new buildings from the 19th century. St Leonard's was established circa 1190 as a "chapel of ease", ecclesiastic-speak for "the priory is a bit far for our elderly parishioners to attend". It too was taken over by the Church of England, but they vacated in 1969 and offered it back to the Catholics. Malton's RC congregation transferred from their Chapel of St Mary's so the church dedication was extended to Saints Leonard and Mary.
St Leonard & Mary Catholic Church is a medieval church situated in Malton, North Yorkshire, England, now serving a parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough. It is a Grade II* listed building in the National Heritage List for England, and retains at least 24 pieces of medieval figurative carving.
