All Saints' Church, Little Bookham
All Saints Church, Manor House Lane, Little Bookham, Surrey, KT23 4EL
The ancient, Grade II* church of All Saints is believed to have originated from about 1100 and has probably the finest set of hatchments in Surrey. The church has recently undergone essential renovation. Illustrated displays will explain the work carried out and the history of the church from its founding.
The beautiful churchyard contains a 1,300 year old yew tree. The hatchments and memorials in the church are mainly of the Pollen/Maddox/Boileau family who were lords of the manor of Little Bookham from around 1640 to 1935. See their family tree and information about the hatchments. There will be more information about them in the exhibition at the nearby Tithe Barn.
