Church
The parish church of St Leonard's is Grade II* listed. Most of the building dates to the early 14th century, its oldest part being the 13th-century font. The church was restored and extended to designs by George Gilbert Scott in 1864.[4] In 2009 the interior of the church was extensively reordered and a community shop and post office were built at the west end.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Yarpole is one of several Herefordshire parishes whose belltower stands separate from the church. The Grade I listed tower dates to the 13th-century, the ground stage built of stone, with the roofs and upper stage timber-framed.[5] It is one of a number of partly or largely timber-framed belltowers in Herefordshire. The dendrochronology dating of its main timbers to 1192 makes it one of the oldest timber-framed structures in England.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
