URPoint Details
The Church of All Saints was built in 1300 stands on a hill-top, dominating the countryside for some miles around giving fine views over Bedfordshire. The footings of the original tower gave way in 1701, however, a brick tower has replaced it. There is a 15th century east window, and beneath the chancel, a fine vaulted crypt built partly into the slope of the hill. Also of note are a carved chair, an ancient chest and handsome brass candlesticks and crosses. One brass is dedicated to Thomas Partington, Treasurer of York Minster, and another dated 1400 depicting Matthew of Asscheton, who held canonries at two cathedrals. His illuminated Latin service book is still kept here.
