Welcome to All Saint’s Church, one of six
Anglican (Church of England) churches in the Chenderit Benefice in the
Diocese of Peterborough. The Grade 1 church building dating from about
1300 is famous for its collection of Burne-Jones windows described by
Pevsner (1951-74) as ‘a place of great enjoyment, the Holy of Holies of
Morris glass’ and two painted ceilings designed by William Morris. The
font is 15th century and in the churchyard there are Table Tombs and the
bodies of 46 Parliamentarian soldiers buried after the battle of
Middleton Cheney in 1642. Inside the church there are toilet and kitchen
facilities, a place for coffee and refreshments and a children’s area.
Seating includes both comfortable chairs and pews and worship takes
place on a dais in front of the Rood Screen.
The parish of Middleton Cheney: All Saints is committed to the

of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns
