All Saints Bisham

All Saints Bisham Church is nestled between the river and the old turnpike, the route of the Marlow flyer to London until it closed in 1888. Take a moment off your route to go down and sit by the river in the tranquil churchyard. Dating from the C12 with a Norman tower of chalk, The church was the place of worship for the Abbey family. The Bisham estate saw the Knights Templar and the Earls of Salisbury and was part of Ann of Cleves divorce settlement from Henry VIII. The heyday was in the 1500s with the Hoby family, here for 200 years, then the Vansittarts for another 200. Discover a treasure trove of court and political influence in the spectacular monuments which tell their tales. Contrast with the modern industrial copper of the Williams Chapel, another story. Bisham was the place to be, so why not visit? (It is in the Simon Jenkins book of 1000 best churches).
