This is the church in which Horatio Nelson's father was rector until his death in 1802. The church dates from the 13^th century and was restored in Nelson's honour in the 19^th century. 

A cross in the chancel arch and a lectern are both made from timbers taken from HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship, given to All Saints by the Board of Admiralty. Inside the church lies Nelson’s father under a plain slab simply inscribed ‘The grave of the Reverend Edmund Nelson Rector of this Parish’. 

Close by is a fine 15^th century brass in the chancel floor to Sir William Calthorpe 1420.

Dressed in full armour, he was the lord of the manor and patron of the church. Nelson had wanted to be buried here but King George the 3^rd decreed otherwise and he was buried in the crypt of St. Pauls in 1805. However, the graves of his much loved sister Susannah and her husband and also Nelsons brother Maurice,  can be found outside on the north side of the church. Also of interest, on the south east buttress, are two mass dials. On the church door is a notice "All who enter of your charity pray latch these doors lest a bird enter and die of thirst"
