All Saints' Church, Winthorpe

All Saints' Church in Winthorpe is a parish church completed in 1888, built from red Walkeringham brick with Ancaster stone detailing. The building features a prominent tower containing multiple bells and is accessed through gate piers that are separately listed.

The current church was built in 1888, replacing two earlier churches that once stood on the same site, with the oldest dating to the 13th century. This represents a long continuity of religious building at this location spanning over 600 years.

This church serves as a gathering place for worship and community life in the village. It belongs to a larger network of eleven parishes in the region that work together as the East Trent Group of Churches.

The church is easy to locate thanks to its distinctive gate piers at the entrance and hosts regular worship services plus community events throughout the year. Visitors should plan to arrive during service times or check ahead for special events and opening hours.

During excavations for the 1888 construction, workers uncovered gunpowder remains and rows of skeletons without coffins dating to the English Civil War period. This surprising discovery reveals that intense conflict once touched this quiet village location centuries ago.
