All Saints Church is a Grade I listed building located in the historic hamlet of Old Burghclere, Hampshire. Its origins date back to circa 1100, making it the original parish church. The architecture is a rich blend of styles, featuring an aisleless Norman nave and an Early English chancel. Notable features include blocked Norman doorways, a 17th-century bell turret, and two extremely plain external mausolea. The church fell into disuse in the 19th century as the population shifted, but was restored by the Carnarvon family (of nearby Highclere Castle) in 1861. It remains a historic gem adjacent to Burghclere Manor. It is only used on Christmas Day.

Wide gravel path that runs alongside the Family Private Chapel.... which we didn't go in to honestly.

Now don't tell anyone, but....we went..... no, shouldn't really say. forget I said anything.

Ivy is pesky stuff.

I must have been looking elsewhere, as I can't see the Hill fort from here.

Start point has free parking. It's possible to sleep over night if you're in a sleeper. It is close to main road though, so noise doesn't really die down.

From 1160 until 1838 the principal church in the parish was All Saints at Old Burghclere with the Rectory [now Burghclere Manor] adjoining it. From 1216 Newtown had its own church with the Rectory being shared, so that the northern end of Burghclere was partly served by the church at Newtown. After the centre of the population shifted north a chapel-of-ease, built in Harts Lane, was consecrated in 1838. Soon afterwards All Saints, owing to its dilapidated state, fell into disuse and so remained until the Carnarvon family had it repaired. It was reopened in 1861. The Church is only used by the Carnarvon family on Christmas Day.
