This dainty church in the tiny parish of Yatton is Grade II-listed. Built in 1841, it is a landmark on the Herefordshire Trail, a long-distance circumnavigation of the county. Nestled at the foot of Perrystone Hill, this little church's beauty is in its simplicity.

It is not that common that a Christian church - essentially encompassing the whole of heaven - is consecrated "ALL SAINTS", it is usually one (or occasionally two) named saints who are the patron saint of a church - and therefore usually also over the municipality or town in which it is located.
But in search of the origin you have to go far back into history, because the model for this practice of dedicating to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were generally dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). were consecrated. Probably the most famous Pantheon, a former pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

A small church on top of a little hill - it has no tower.
