Shirburn : All Saints

The building is Grade II listed and dates from the late 11th or early 12th century. Additions and alterations were made in the 13th and 14th centuries. Further alterations took place in the 18th century, when the top stage was added to the tower, and in the early part of the 19th century, when a north transept was added “as a family pew for the Earl of Macclesfield”. The church was restored and largely rebuilt in 1876 by T. H. Wyatt (1807-80)

It was declared redundant in 1995 and vested in the Churches Conservation Trust.
