Everyone of any age, race or gender is welcome to join the congregation.

There has been a church building on the site of All Saints since the 13th Century and this has been modified over the centuries, particularly in 19th Century by the parishioners and the Whitbread family.

Presently building modifications are being made to provide level access for disabled people and toilets.

The church is well used for weddings, funerals, baptisms and various social events. The church and church yard offer quiet places for reflection and prayer.

There is a thriving Sunday school which usually meets on the third Sunday of each month. The Friends of All Saints Church arrange a number of events each year to raise money for the maintenance and renovation of the building.
