All Saints is a pretty parish church on the outskirts of Wellingore. The church was built in the 12th century and developed over the subsequent three centuries. The spire was added in the 14th century. Inside the north chapel, you can view an important tomb chest to Sir Richard de Buslingthorpe. The tomb dates to 1435 and is topped with reclining alabaster figures of a knight and his lady. The pews, pulpit, font and altar-rail are all from 1881. All Saints is Grade I-listed.

The fact that a Christian house of worship - essentially encompassing the whole of heaven - is consecrated "ALL SAINTS" is not that common; 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.
