St Leonard's church, Sysonby, in the parish of St Mary, Melton Mowbray.

"The hamlet of Sysonby was mentioned in the Domesday Book under differing names, but it took its present name in 1552. Since that time the hamlet and its residents have had a chequered history. All that remains of the hamlet is the ancient little church building, which is believed to have been built around 1344. It is of simple construction, with a small nave and a tower with one bell. It was restored in 1892 and since then many local people have contributed towards the upkeep of the church and churchyard. In 1925, in memory of the Dalgliesh family (a well known and respected local family), a small side chapel was added. This now serves as a vestry and has greatly improved the interior of this lovely little church.

A tiny church, tucked away at the bottom of Sysonby Grange Lane on the edge of Melton Mowbray, off the A6006 Asfordby Road. Services are only held occasionally and are special services conducted around three or four times a year."
