St. Mary's and All Saints church was built in 1877. It was
built to replace the church of St. Mary's & All Saints in Old Church Hill. That church is now
a private residence having become redundant in October 1971. The new church, situated in
the High Road at the summit of Crown Hill, was far more accessible and remains a prominent
feature in the local landscape. During 1972 the bells remained silent following a survey
of the tower which required restoration work. The Rector, Rev. David Cook organised a restoration
fund to raise £5,000 towards the repair work. The
church is now a Grade II listed building. Notes:
(1) The church received listed status on 20th July 1995. |
