Full Description

All Saints' Church, Ingham, is a small Early English Church which was much rebuilt in 1792, and restored in 1896. In 1964 it was in normal use. {1}{2} All Saints' Church has a nave, chancel, and west bell-turret, and is basically Early English but much rebuilt in 1792 (see the characteristic wide pointed windows of the nave). The chancel windows are probably of the 1896 restoration. The west porch is of 1931. The font was apparently made up in the 19th century from a Perpendicular bowl and an Early English base. A 13th century grave cover, in the churchyard south of the nave, is complete with a floriate cross head. {3} Due to the vicissitudes of the medieval and post medieval population the medieval church had become so ruinous that it was taken down and rebuilt as a two-cell structure in 1792. {4} A parish church rebuilt in 1792 then restored in 1896 and 1931.
