All Saints Church, Weston-on-Avon

All Saints Church stands in the quiet village of Weston-on-Avon in Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building, recognised for its historic importance. The church serves as an active Anglican parish and belongs to a benefice that includes three other nearby churches. The earliest record of a church on this site dates to 1283, though parts of the present structure may be older. Most of the church was built in the mid-15th century, with later additions such as the south porch in the early 18th century. A restoration took place in 1899, preserving its medieval character. The church’s exterior is built from blue lias stone, with ashlar dressings and a tiled roof. The west tower features four gargoyles, including one of a figure playing a recorder, and has crenellations at the top. The nave has large six-light windows, some containing stained glass with little ships. Inside, the chancel is lower and narrower, with an arched east window. The church’s interior includes a 19th-century octagonal font, early 20th-century choir stalls, and a 1960 organ. Medieval encaustic tiles lie near the pulpit, and memorial brasses honour members of the Greville and Adkins families. The churchyard holds the base of a medieval limestone cross and two Grade II-listed chest tombs from the late 17th century. The nave’s squint offers a view into the chancel, and the tower’s stair turret provides access to the upper levels. The stained glass and memorials reflect the church’s long history, while the simple stonework and tiled roof give it a modest, enduring presence. The church remains a place of worship and quiet reflection in the heart of the village.
