Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church located on Church Road in Stanton St Bernard. It dates from the late 15th to 16th century, with significant work completed in 1832 under the direction of Rev. G.J. Majendie, who was the rector and prebend of Sarum. The church is constructed of ashlar limestone and features slate roofs.

The medieval west tower is a prominent feature, while the nave, chancel, north porch, and south vestry were all built in 1832 in the Commissioner's Gothic style. The church has three-light Perpendicular style windows set between buttresses, which were added slightly later. The tower is topped with a crenellated parapet and crocketed pinnacles, and it consists of three stages with angle buttresses and a polygonal south-east stair tower. The west door is wide with a flattened arch and a label with dropped terminals, and there is a three-light window above it. The tower also features two-light bell openings and mask gargoyles.

Inside, the church has a wide nave with a boarded 4-centred ceiling vault divided into five bays. The tower arch has hollow chamfers, and there is a simple chancel arch leading to a wide chancel with three roof bays. Notable fittings include a reworked 12th-century font with a fluted base and chevron lip, an oak pulpit, and chancel rails made of open ironwork with large fleur-de-lys cappings and candelabra ends, gifted by Henry Broomham. The pews, likely from the early 19th century, include doors and tall iron candelabra.

On the east wall of the nave, there is a wall painting on canvas depicting God in glory surrounded by the River of Waters of Life, with angels and saints, created around 1900 by an unknown artist. The chancel features mid-19th century glass, including a south window dedicated to G.J. Majendie. The sanctuary contains two 17th-century style upholstered chairs, one of which is probably original, along with one reader's chair. There is also a simple unfixed square brass plate commemorating Rev. John Shorthose, who died in 1721, and a war memorial located in the nave.
