Built on the remnants of a Saxon church All Saints' provides a journey through history as the church building was developed and modified by events such as the Reformation and the ambitions of its noble patrons most notably the Erdeswickes and the Earls of Harrowby. Set at the edge of Sandon Park, which is a listed parkland and above the Trent Valley with stunning views of the local countryside, the church is a great place to start or end a walk around the area.

The beautiful churchyard holds over 3000 burials, including two Commonwealth War Graves, all of which have been mapped to support family history searches and enquiries can be made via the website. 

Our thriving church community includes the congregation for services and other volunteers who support our church opening, school visits and guided tours, the maintenance of the church and the churchyard. We also have a history group engaged in the research of the church artifacts and the church's place in history.
