Parish Church Of All Saints

The Parish Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building located on High Street in Great Barford. The church primarily dates from the 19th century but retains some work from the 15th century. It features a west tower, a nave, north and south aisles, a chancel, and a north vestry. The 15th-century west tower is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and consists of five stages divided by string courses. It has diagonal buttresses that end in crocketed pinnacles, an embattled parapet, and a small lead-covered octagonal spire. The west door is pointed arched with a rectangular surround, and both this door and the window above it have moulded dripstones with carved flowers at the stops. The belfry windows were added in the 19th century.

The remainder of the church was built in the 19th century in a 14th-century style, replacing the original nave and chancel. It features brown cobbles and ashlar dressings. The nave has four-bay arcades and a clerestory with small quatrefoils. The north aisle was constructed in 1848, and the south aisle in 1860. The aisles and vestry have square-headed windows, while the south doorway projects slightly externally and is pointed arched. The chancel has pointed arched windows and a south door, with dripstones on all openings. All parapets are embattled, except for the recently repaired north aisle and the north wall of the nave.

Inside, the church features a square font with chamfered angles on angle shafts. The chancel contains a black marble and alabaster figured monument to Thomas Ansell, dated 1591, which includes two figures with crudely repaired heads. There is also a brass from 1535 commemorating John Fitz Jeffrey and his wife, located in the chancel.
