This red-tiled Medieval church with its tiny bell cote stands on a hill in a large and lovely churchyard.
The banded brick and stone is beautiful and the plain and simple light interior help to make All Saints' a place of peaceful joy.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There is a small step into the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

This is a tiny but lovely old church. It dates back about 1000 years and is one of the oldest buildings in this area. The church has been open daily since July 2010 and has seen many visitors sign the visitors book. Many of the gravestones around the church are very old and interesting too. The 'Friends of All Saints Church' held their first 'event' in December 2010, which was a Christmas Tree Festival Weekend. This event was well attended with the climax t the weekend was a Christmas Carol Service on the Sunday Evening attended by 80 people - the little church was full to bursting!
we was married at this church 1957.
I was married in this church on 13th July 1974 by the then Reverend Moorehouse
Visited this church today, 10 September 2011. A very nice church, has been fairly recently cleaned up, well worth a visit.
My ancestors farmed the land near this church and some of them are buried in the church yard. I remember attending harvest festivals there as a child with my mum. You can read more about the church in her book ' A Pictorial History' by Jessie K Payne. I was overjoyed to find the church renovated and open last week, on a visit from where I live in Devon. The last time I saw inside the church was at my mother's funeral in 1987.
The church is a unique, sitting on its little hill overlooking the Vange Marshes. I treasure the many stories that my mother told me a s a child, some of which involved the church and life on a farm in Vange in the earlier part of the twentieth Century.
I AM SO PLEASED THIS CHURCH HAS BEEN RESTORED. IT WAS MY NAN & GRANDAD'S CHURCH (GEORGE AND MARGARET WILDISH, MY MOTHER'S PARENTS). THEY LIVED IN RASHLEIGH DRIVE AND ARE BURIED IN THIS CHURCH'S CEMETERY. MY WIFE AND I VISIT WHENEVER WE CAN. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AFTER IT FOR US.
We were married at this church on 4th June 1977 ( Silver Jubilee weekend) I was so disappointed to have missed your wedding event weekend. We currently live in Lincolnshire and are planning our youngest daughters wedding for next year. She is getting married at All Saints Church, Moulton. You can imagine our surprise when googling images of that Church up popped a photo of a wedding at All Saints Vange! Please be kind enough to keep us informed if any more wedding weekends are planned.
