Within the Parish is Leighton Hall, with its origins dating back to 1246. This has been a Catholic stronghold and during the period of Catholic persecution, a priest was frequently hidden within the walls.

St Mary's is mentioned in 1848. "there is a Roman Catholic chapel, of which the priest has an endowment of £130 per annum, with a residence." (visit link) The priest's house looks to be adjoining, on south side.
