Britain's What's On Event Guide
All Saints' Church Sandon
Heritage Open Day: A family-friendly walk through our history—a unique behind-the-scenes tour of this gem of a Grade I listed church building and ancient graveyard (self-guided or with a volunteer guide) will take you from Norman origins to the present day. We will take you back to the origins of this pre-1130 Norman church through centuries of additions, changes, and reconfigurations. The church, situated on the edge of Sandon Estate, overlooks the magnificent Trent Valley. Explore the ancient tombs in the chancel, the most elaborate is the Sampson Erdswicke monument of 1601, with effigies of his two wives kneeling in prayer. Climb up to the Gallery pew installed in 1782, which provided seating for Baron Harrowby and his family.
