About Us

The present building dates back to the 12th Century, but remains of Anglo Saxon crosses suggest a Church was here prior to this building. All Saints has changed over the years, losing it's tower in 1880. It has a triple decor pulpit and was the home Church of James Cook when he lived in the village from aged 8 to 15. His sponsor Thomas Skottowe is buried in the Church and his mother and siblings within the Churchyard.

All Saints is candle lit and still used for worship on some Sunday evenings at 6pm and Wednesday morning Commuinin in July and August.

It is also open for visitors from April to October from 1pm - 3.pm each afternoon
