- Thornton, Buckinghamshire (Church of St Michael & All Angels)
This 15th-century church stands in the grounds of Thornton House, which is now a school.
It contains many wonderful treasures – including an outstanding brass with depictions of sixteen kneeling children and the 15th-century life-sized alabaster tomb figures of John Barton and his wife, as well as box pews, a two-decker pulpit and the squire’s pew.

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 step.
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.
