Charming Grade II* medieval church restored in 1861 by G. E. Street. Displays, stained-glass, monuments, historic books, plus an illustrated talk on the church's history and a bell-ringing demonstration. Churchyard walking tour in the afternoon.


A church in Banstead was mentioned in Domesday book, but the present building seems to date from the late 12th century, with many changes since. With unusual nave arcades, some ancient stonework, interesting monuments and windows, it repays exploration. On 14th September there will be pictorial displays, a display of historic books and paintings, an illustrated talk about the church's history, and guides will be on hand to provide more information on the windows and memorials. An Arts Society (previously NADFAS) Church Trail is available for children. In the afternoon there will be a tour of the extensive ancient churchyard, which includes listed chest tombs and a listed war memorial. This year we also have a display for the centenary of the local branch of the Royal British Legion. A timetable of the day's events will be downloadable from August from our website
