All Saints Church in Weston

The All Saints Church in the village of Weston on the outskirts of Bath has occupied its place on the hill for more than a thousand years. The Gothic building, designed by architect John Pinch Sr., was completed in 1832, replacing the older church building.

The local church was first mentioned by Pope Adrian IV in 1156. The name of her first vicar, Jordan, who ruled here since the end of the XIII century.

A small church building of the XV century was demolished in 1830 - the thermal resort of Bath at this time was actively developing, the number of parishioners was rapidly increasing, and there was a need to build a more spacious temple. However, the original tower of the XV century was left - the main part that we see today was attached to it. The church was solemnly consecrated on June 2, 1832.

In the churchyard and in the temple itself there are burials, the earliest of which belong to the XII century. There are 90 of them in total, and records show only a few of those buried were directly related to the temple and Weston. Apparently, the relatives of the deceased wanted their loved ones to rest in the quiet and benevolent environment that reigns around the Church of All Saints.
