Constructed in the shape of a T, the present church was built in the 16th century but has some primitive parts dating from the 12th century.
The building has a Latin cross plan and is oriented. The entrance is through a portal in the western façade that opens onto a single nave with four bays. The transept is protruding and is finished with a choir at the flat apse of a single bay.
The Saint-Leonard church is located in Ménévillers, in Picardy. This Romanesque building was redesigned in the seventeenth century, including the addition of a curved entrance, decorated with a brace and topped with an oculus. The choir of the church is attached on one side to the presbytery and on the other to an old farm of the abbey. It has a baptismal font from the 11th century.
Built of dressed stone, it is a small building that has been extensively altered and renovated over the centuries: the bell tower, the choir and the underside of the bell tower, vaulted in the 16th century, bear witness to this.
In the sixteenth century, the Romanesque church of Saint Denis de Bailleul-le-Soc presented a nave, a transept, a belfry and a choir lit by seven windows. In the eighteenth century the whole building was modified: the portal, the nave and the steeple were rebuilt while the nave was raised. The church has a relic of the True Cross and sculptures (15th century) classified as historical monuments.
