All Saints' Church, Bradbourne, Anglican church building in Bradbourne, England
All Saints' Church is an Anglican parish church in the village of Bradbourne in Derbyshire, England, with a tower, nave, choir, and chancel. The building shows stonework from several different periods, and the tower holds six bells.
The church traces its origins to a Saxon foundation and was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. A major restoration carried out in 1876 and 1877 reshaped much of the structure into what visitors see today.
The churchyard holds a Saxon cross from the early medieval period, still standing among the graves and visible to anyone walking through the grounds. The building continues to serve the Bradbourne community as a place of worship and a gathering point for local events through the year.
The church sits on Mill Lane in Bradbourne and is easy to reach on foot from the village center. Visitors are welcome to look around the building or attend a service, as the church is part of a joint parish with other nearby churches.
The British actor Alan Bates, known for his film roles from the 1960s onward, is buried in the churchyard. His grave sits close to the early medieval Saxon cross, so two very different chapters of history share the same small patch of ground.
