• All Saints Church, Ellington.

• OS Grid Square TL 160719
• The church of All Saints consists of a chancel, nave with north aisle, south aisle, west tower and spire, and north and south porches. The walls are of rubble with pebble rubble with stone dressings and the roofs are covered with lead, slates and tiles.
• The church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086, but nothing earlier than the 13th Century remains and of this period only the chancel arch is in-situ The walls of the chancel probably remained, much altered, until 1863, and the nave was probably of the same length as at present for the south aisle was added or rebuilt early in the 14th century. At the end of that century the tower was added or rebuilt and, in about 1400, the nave arcades, north aisle and north porch were rebuilt. The south wall of the south aisle was largely rebuilt towards the end of the 15th century when new windows were inserted in its east and west walls. The clearstory was added to the nave about the same time.
• The south porch was built in the 16th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1863, the spire restored in 1899 and the nave roof in 1907-8.
