All Saints' Church Open Morning

All Saints’ is a Grade II* listed church with a history going back to the 12th Century. It was originally one of the chapels of the Royal Manor of Cookham, that was given to the Abbey of Cirencester by Henry I, and records show that the church was appropriated in 1347 by the Abbot. The church which stands today dates back to the 14th Century, with mid 1800’s additions and restorations designed by the architect, Benjamin Ferry.

There are many historical features including the Norman font bowl, the 14th Century carved wooden porch, and a 15th Century window with glass depicting St. George and the Dragon. In the chancel you can see the oldest half-effigy brass memorial in Berkshire in honour of the Rector of Binfield, dated 1361. The church has remained an integral part of the community over the years. The poet Alexander Pope lived nearby and sang in the church choir as a boy in the early 1700s and John Constable spent his honeymoon at the Rectory in 1816 and sketched All Saints’ Church twice.

Come along to our open morning to explore the church and to enjoy tea and coffee for a donation.
There is plenty of parking available on site.
