All Saints' Church, Sandon, part of the Mid-Trent Churches Team

All Saints’ Church in Sandon is a Christian congregation serving the Sandon community and encouraging others through a life-changing Christian journey.

We seek to serve God by caring for our community, maintaining a Christian presence in Sandon and being an active part of the wider Mid Trent Benefice. We pray for justice and peace and desire to be known by the love and respect we have for one another. We are renowned for our warm welcome to all. We are a popular choice for weddings with couples often choosing Sandon Hall for their reception. We delight in seeing wedding couples return with their baby for baptism.

Our Grade I Listed church building dates from the 12th Century and is listed for a rare survival in this country of an integrated display of post-reformation genealogical paintings on the walls, heraldic glass above the altar and the Erdeswicke family monuments and tombs spanning five generations up to the time of Elizabeth I.

There is also a large Royal Coat of Arms of Charles lI (1660 - 1685) and two 19th Century stained-glass windows by William Wailes in the style of Augustus Pugin, who designed the interior of the Houses of Parliament.

The church building has been through centuries of additions, changes and reconfigurations. It is built of stone with a tile roof, nave with aisles, chancel and perpendicular south-west tower. It has fine arch-braced roofs, a north aisle which was elaborately remodeled in 1851 as a family chapel of the Earls of Harrowby and was well restored by W. D. Caroe from 1923. The font is dated 1669, and there is a Jacobean pulpit with tester.

The communion rail and family pews in the chancel are of Jacobean type. There are numerous good monuments, mainly dedicated to the Erdeswick family, and include four incised alabaster slabs of circa 1600, a large mural monument with a recumbent effigy and of wives kneeling to Samson Erdeswick dated 1603, and designed by himself in 1601. There is a mural monument to George Digby, dated 1675.

The PCC of Sandon with Burston is most fortunate to have received a substantial grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to restore and conserve the heritage features and to carry out essential works to the fabric of the building, thereby securing the future of the church and its rare artefacts for generations to come. The work is being carried out between November 2025 and May 2026.

Alongside the capital works, the National Lottery Heritage Fund grant has provided for a varied and diverse programme of activities running through to 2027 for children and adults to experience the history and heritage of All Saints’. The project offers volunteering opportunities as well.

Our project also includes a number of Bio-Diversity initiatives in the churchyard.

We see our Heritage Project as an important part of our outreach as a worship community.
