A church of legends with a 'sawn off' spire...
Built of colourful orange ironstone in the fourteenth century, All Saints' is delightfully located overlooking parkland. This is a church of legends, woven around the strange 'sawn off' spire that crowns its handsome fifteenth-century tower.
Medieval screens, a curious thirteenth-century font, early nineteenth-century box pews and carved corbels of various dates, inside and out, make this a church of considerable historic interest.
A contribution can be made towards the conservation of the church by texting BBY to 70970 to donate £5, or 70191 to donate £10. Thank you for your support
