Church of All Saints

About

All Saints Church, Farnborough is a Grade I listed Church of England parish church in Farnborough, Berkshire, England.

History and architecture: All Saints Church dates to the 11th century, with its surviving Norman nave and north doorway constructed of flint with Bath stone dressings and partial rendering.

The interior is plastered and painted, comprising a four-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, both under timber roofs.

The east window is flanked by two late-17th-century marble memorial plaques that commemorate William Garnam (and wife) and Bartholomew Price...
