This is a revisit to All Saints Church which is only a mile away from the last one St Michael. The church is normally locked now but was opened for my visit although it dates back to the 11th century I dare say there was one here before
The Church of England parish church of All Saints may date from the second half of the 11th century. However, the only surviving Norman features are one small window in the north wall of the nave and the blocked-up remains of a south doorway. The nave roof may be 14th century and its west wall and Perpendicular Gothic window may be 15th century.[3] The wooden north porch is of uncertain date,[2] possibly the first half of the 17th century. In 1859–60 under the direction of the Gothic Revival architect P.C. Hardwick, the nave was restored [3] and the chancel was restored.[2] The bellcote is also wooden and has two bells,[3] and may have been added by Hardwick.[2] All Saints is now part of the Benefice of the Churn
