This delightful little Anglican parish church in Church Lane, Dogmersfield, dating back to 1843, is part of the benefice of Hartley Wintney with Elvetham, Winchfield and Dogmersfield, in the Deanery of Odiham and Diocese of Winchester.
Dogmersfield maintains a service every Sunday of the year and, with the exception of the occasional evening services, at 9.30am (first Sunday in the month) or 11.00am.
All Saints is very fortunate to have it's own choir which regularly lead the morning services on most Sundays and a dedicated group of bell-ringers. Both of these are available to make your wedding day that extra special.
