About this Event
All Saints' Church, Binfield
Heritage Open Day: All Saints Church will be open with stewards and information brochures.
Refreshments will be available and all are very welcome. The church dates back to the 12th century. It was originally one of the chapels of the Royal Manor of Cookham, which covered an area as far away as Sunninghill, that was given to the Abbey of Cirencester by Henry I. Of special interest: the 14th century carved wooden porch, an hourglass made in 1628, a 15th-century window and a half-effigy brass memorial in the chancel to Walter de Annefordehe dated 1361, which is the oldest in Berkshire.
