Welcome
There has been a worshipping community in Burton Dassett since the 12th century and whether you have been to church before or are coming for the first time, you are assured of a warm welcome!
The Parish of Burton Dassett supports two churches: the Chapel of Ease in Northend and the wonderful All Saints Church at Burton Dassett. Both are open to the public every day throughout the year.
The Chapel of Ease, which seats about 50 people, is built in 1853 from local stone and is situated in Northend next to the vicarage and adjacent to the village green.
ALL SAINTS is a most beautiful and captivating Norman church and is one of the finest examples, being totally unspoilt. The church stands on the steeply sloping hillside of the Dassett Magna country park which is very obvious once inside when you see that the floor of the church slopes up quite steeply to the altar.
Built in the 12th Century, known locally as the 'Cathedral in the Hills', it is a Listed Grade 1 building which in 2009 underwent an enormous restoration project to preserve and restore some of its medieval wall paintings. It is a beautiful and tranquil place, of historical and architectural interest which continues to have a vibrant worshiping community which work hard to both maintain this beautiful building and keep it open as a worshiping parish church.
