Our Building
All Saints Marlow has currently achieved a Silver award and we are working towards the Diocese target of net zero by 2025.
Music and Worship
There has been a church on the present site since before 1070. We know that by 1593 the building had a wooden tower with four bells, and these had been increased to five by 1610. In 1719 the five bells were recast into six. Three of these six still exist in our present ring of eight bells. In 1834, when the present church was under construction, the six bells from the old building were installed and augmented to eight by the addition of a new treble and tenor. In 1934, all eight bells were re-tuned and re-hung on ball bearings.
Visitors are always welcome so if you would like to give it a try then please visit the belfry on practice night, Tuesdays between 7.30pm and 8.30pm. Alternatively you can contact the Tower Captain – Tina Ruff – on 01628 475925.
Ringing for the services takes place on Sundays between 8.45am and 9.15am.
We routinely host choral and orchestral concerts at All Saints Marlow. Check out the events page on our website to find out what there is coming up.

We are blessed with a very fine three-manual ‘Father’ Willis organ, thoroughly overhauled by Mander Organs in 1997 (the company responsible also for the renovation of the ‘Father’ Willis organ in the Royal Albert Hall) and we have just had one set of bellows re-leathered by Bishop’s of Ipswich.
We are very thankful to be blessed with an adult choir who enhance our worship at our weekly Sunday 9.15 communion service.
