Church of All Saints, Parish church in Darton, England
The Church of All Saints is a stone parish church in Darton with a gilded hammer beam roof in the nave. The interior displays Victorian stained glass windows and features original roof bosses throughout the structure.
Construction of the church began in 1480 on the site of two earlier structures dating back to 1160. The current building was completed in 1517.
The interior shows medieval stone carvings with decorative details on the choir stalls and four Green Men figures carved into the stone. These handcrafted details reveal the skill of the artisans who worked on the building.
Access to the building is limited to certain times, so visitors should check opening hours before planning a visit. The church sits centrally in the village with parking available nearby for convenience.
An 11th-century stone altar was discovered in 1924 after being hidden during the Reformation. The altar remains in its original position inside the building today.
