About Us

You are guaranteed a warm welcome at any of the churches in our Benefice, whether you live in the area or are just visiting.

All Saints is a much-loved church in the centre of the village. The church is a great location for the major life events of our community. We share joy in marriages and baptisms, and we stand alongside in sadness at the passing of loved ones.

All Saints Church is part of the Stilton Group of Churches. There are four other churches in the group with whom we share a single incumbent.   

A church at Elton is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 and traces of a Saxon building have been found during restoration work, but only two remains are now visible; the wheel crosses by the tower in the Churchyard and a small head carving in the North Aisle Vestry. In 1450-60 the Church was practically rebuilt, although the tower was not completed until some 40 years later. The oldest parish register dates from 1598. Restoration work was undertaken in the 17th century by Sir Robert Cotton who found the Chancel ‘in a ruinous condition’.

The Tower was built in Ashlar from the nearby quarry at Ketton in about 1500. The structure is uncommon in that the buttresses are formed as the building contracts, the base being considerably wider than the battlements.

The South Porch also dates from around 1500. To the west of the doorway there is a scratch dial, used by the priest for the daily services.

The Nave and Chancel exterior has several gargoyles as water-spouts.
