A church in Banstead was mentioned in Domesday book, but the present building seems to date from the late 12th century, with many changes since. With unusual nave arcades, some ancient stonework, interesting monuments and windows, it repays exploration. 

On 13th September there will be pictorial displays, a display of historic books and paintings, an illustrated talk about the church's history, and guides will be on hand to provide more information on the windows and memorials. We also hope our bell-ringers will tell us about the art of ringing. 

 An Arts Society (previously NADFAS) Church Trail is available for children and the Banstead History Group will have a stall outside.  In the afternoon there will be a tour of the extensive ancient churchyard, which includes listed chest tombs and a listed war memorial. A timetable of the day's events will be downloadable from this site from August.
