The History of Sandon All Saints

Welcome to All Saints Church, Sandon. Formally founded in the 12th Century, it is believed that the present church was built on the foundations of an older place of worship dating back to Saxon times. The church has played a vital role in the life of the community over the past 1000 years. Read about the notable families who have been patrons of the church and the impact they have had on its development.

The church was built when the English Church was a part of the Roman Church, and has been adapted over the centuries in response to the changing political and religious landscape. From Norman Earls, through Civil War and into the modern day, uncover the marks of time left on tombs, in the ringing of bells and in the very fabric of our building. Step into history with us.
