History of All Saints, Holdenby
There is very little information available about All Saints, Holdenby, except that parts of the church date from at least 1220, as there are records of a rector in the village at that time, the church was mainly constructed between 1330 and 1340, surprisingly, both the North and South Aisles were built along with the nave at this time, and along with the bottom of the tower exist today. The misericords probably date from this period.
The upper section of the tower was added in the 15th century and the north aisle had its roof raised.
The chancel was rebuilt between 1843 and 1845. Sir George Gilbert Scott was brought in to restore the church in 1867.
The church lies quite a distance from the village, as Sir Christopher Hatton had the village moved, in the late 16th century, to allow room for his new manor gardens.
All Saints, Holdenby was declared redundant in 1972 and is now in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust - it does not have a website.
