All Saints Church, Long Whatton

All Saints Church is an Anglican church in Long Whatton featuring a stone tower with a crenellated top and arched windows. The building combines Norman and Gothic architectural elements that developed over centuries of construction.

The tower dates from the late 12th century and received major additions in the 14th century. Extensive renovations took place between 1865 and 1866, updating the building for the Victorian era.

The church holds a medieval chancel screen brought from Colston Bassett and a pulpit from 1613 originally in Great Shefford. These pieces show how religious furnishings moved between churches and were carefully kept across generations.

The church welcomes visitors for regular services and is open for those interested in its architecture and historical monuments. The arched windows provide good light for exploring the interior details during daylight hours.

Inside the church stands a marble memorial urn honoring Mary Dawson from 1779 and Edward Dawson from 1788. This urn shows how a local family maintained its connection to the church across generations.
