The rebuilding of All Saints dates from the period of this expansion, a time of considerable optimism in the Church of England; in retrospect, it can be seen as a time when that denomination over-stretched itself somewhat. The church had been near-derelict at the start of that century: the tower had collapsed in the 1570s, and the chancel was taken down a century later. The Georgian porch and clock were added in the 1820s, but the bulk of the rebuilding was in 1848. There are three medieval churches within a couple of miles, as well as another Victorian one, and so today All Saints is redundant. It is in private ownership, but it is used regularly by the local community for exhibitions, concerts and other functions
