All Saints

All Saints is the parish church of Bingley, West Yorkshire.  The church probably dates back to pre-Norman times and  it is thought that there might have been a wooden church on this location prior to the Norman Conquest, although no records exist. The first records of the church indicate it was rebuilt some time after 1066 by the Lord of the Manor, William Paganel, who gave it, with other possessions of his, to Drax Priory in the time of Archbishop Thurstan (1119–1140).

The present structure was begun during the reign of Henry VIII (1491–1547).The choir was erected in 1518 and it is at this time that the church was dedicated to All Saints, having previously been dedicated to Saint Lawrence.  The current tower was constructed in the 15th century and heightened with a new belfry added in 1739, with the two-light bell openings that adorn each side of the tower being 19th century additions.

The church received a new clock in 1856 and was renovated in 1870-1871 when the Ferrand Chapel became the vestry and some of the pews that were tied to the local Manor Houses were stripped out.  The church has a stained glass window crafted by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. There is a peal of bells, for many years six in number, with a further two added in 1873. The church is Grade II* listed.
