Original St.Leonard Church and Churchyard

I believe I was told the St.Leonard Church was destroyed during WWII, was the churchyard (graveyard) also destroyed?

I have just come across your message re St Leonards Church. The church was virtually destroyed by a V1 Doodlebug. The churchyard is still there and the church rebuilt. This was the church my family attended and my father's ashes are interred in the graveyard. I was baptised there and my son was the first child baptised in the rebuilt baptistry in 1961.

Were not some of the remains reburied in a small cemetary on West Hill ?overlooking the church..It is opposite the Archery school canteen..I am sure you can pinpoint it on Google Maps as it is quite prominent_ _ _
