St John's Church, Lea

St John's Church stands alongside the main road above the main part of the village. It contains a 12th century font resting on an elephant!!

The Church was locked so no photograph of the interior is available.

Note: prior to 1844, Lea parish comprised the townships of Upper Lea, which belonged to the county of Herefordshire, and Lower Lea, which belonged to Gloucestershire. In 1844, when they were united, Lower Lea was transferred to of Herefordshire. The parish church was in township of Lower Lea, so was therefore in Gloucestershire.
