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.
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.

The Friends of Throapham church have taken over running events throughout the summer months (too cold in winter). In addition they have been working hard to clear at least 30 years of brambles, ivy and weeds from the churchyard making it accessible to visitors again.
The last open days 2011 are Saturday 24th September 10 till 4 and Sunday 25th September Noon till 4. We have on display the Parish Records from the 1500s and also old photographs and information on the Parish, Church, and Local Area.
Back in the mid to late 1940's I was a choirboy at St John's and All Saints. We had a service at each Church on alternate Sundays. I later rang the bell from within the vestry and pumped the organ. My Grandma whose family name was Barnes and also my step brother George Barnes are buried in the churchyard. The last time that I visited I couldn't find the graves which lie side by side. I now live in Gosport, Hampshire and sadly too infirm to make anymore visits. I still look back at the happy times that I had with the Church Choir and enjoyed visiting both St John's and All Saints.I was also a member of Laughton Scout Group. On one of my later visits I was sad to see that someone had stolen lead from the roof and that there was some water ingress.
