Mollington : All Saints

The earliest parts of the parish church date from the 14th century, but the font is 13th century so there may have been an earlier church building on the site. The building was restored in 1856 under the direction of the Gothic Revival architect William White (1825-1900)

About this church

All Saints’ has a north aisle which is linked to the nave by an arcade of four bays. There was a chapel on the north side of the chancel, but it was demolished in 1786. A blocked arch and doorway survive in the north wall of the chancel and a piscina can be seen from the outside. The tower was built in the 16th century. The tower has a ring of six bells. Henry I Bagley of Chacombe, Northamptonshire cast the fifth bell in 1631 and John Briant of Hertford cast the fourth bell in 1789. Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the third and tenor bells in 1875. The Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the treble and second bells in 1981, completing the present ring. All Saints has a Sanctus bell, cast by John Conyers of Yorkshire in about 1630.
