History of All Saints’ church, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire.
The Church of All saints dates from the 12th century. The Tower may be from an earlier edifice, the chancel is from the 12th century, whilst the nave which included masonry from an earlier Norman church, including piecrust and zigzag patterns dates from the 14th century. The fine brick porch dates from the 15th century and was an endowment from the Bishop of Bath and Wells.
The misericords have a family resemblance to those at Wingfield, Suffolk and Soham, Cambridgeshire. The church as a whole also has a feeling of the Great Suffolk wool churches.
All Saints does not appear to have it’s own website, but the Sutton Courtenay village site may be of use.
