More about this scene
The parish church of All Saints hides its history well. At first glance, the architecture is 19th century and confirms the rebuilding during 1860. However, the saxon crosses suggest a much earlier history. The porch to the church dates back to Norman times (13th century), the aisle from the 14th and the tower from the 15th century. A church is believed to have existed on this site in Saxon times circa AD700-800. Certainly the site was once the location of the Roman fort of Olicana, started in AD80 and rebuilt in stone during the 4th century.
