As
one approaches this beautiful church along
an impressive avenue of mature lime trees
it is worth reflecting that the Parish Church
of All Saints Inworth has presided gracefully
over this small area of England as arguably
its most important building for almost a
thousand years. 
It has provided a lovely setting for countless
weddings, baptisms and final farewells and
provides tranquillity for those who worship
in and care for the church today. It survives
in a remarkably good condition for its age.
That is due to the diligence and devotion
of our forebears and stands as a blessed
memory of those who built it. It has joined in celebration of the good and has provided comfort at times following the victories of the Battle of Hastings, Trafalgar and Waterloo, the traumatic period of the Civil War and the devastating result of the Great War. It has more recently witnessed the dramatic defence for freedom of the skies during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War. It has shared in the mourning resulting from national disasters of plague, earthquake and hurricane. We owe it to the generations ahead to pass on this beautiful building in at least a good condition as our forefathers passed it to us. The church is wholly dependent on voluntary contributions to maintain this fine building and if you would like to make a regular commitment to give, please contact the Rector. Be assured of a warm welcome at All Saints Inworth! |
