History

Believing in God’s Word and Spirit

Welcome to All Saint’s Church, one of six Anglican (Church of England) churches in the Chenderit Benefice in the Diocese of Peterborough. The Grade 1 church building dating from about 1300 is famous for its collection of Burne-Jones windows described by Pevsner (1951-74) as ‘a place of great enjoyment, the Holy of Holies of Morris glass’ and two painted ceilings designed by William Morris. The font is 15th century and in the churchyard there are Table Tombs and the bodies of 46 Parliamentarian soldiers buried after the battle of Middleton Cheney in 1642. Inside the church there are toilet and kitchen facilities, a place for coffee and refreshments and a children’s area. Seating includes both comfortable chairs and pews and worship takes place on a dais in front of the Rood Screen. Our monthly worship includes All Age Family worship, Songs of Praise, which is held alternately at All Saints and the Methodist Church and services of Holy Communion using material from Common Worship. We also offer Messy Church and First Steps for pre-school children and a monthly mid week service of Holy Communion.
Believing that the Bible is God’s inspired word we seek to present Biblical truth in an attractive, informative and relevant way. We want to help every person develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. We would love to welcome you if you would like to check us out or to visit. As is the case in most forward looking churches we are a work in progress and a church which wants to take seriously Jesus’ command to go to all people’s everywhere to share the good news of Jesus Christ. We would be delighted if you would like to join us on that journey. Please get in touch if you would like to learn more or to look round the Church. Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction. May God lead you closer to Himself and bless and enrich your life. All Saints : Church Lane, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, OX17 2NR
