All Saints, Dunsby

 

The Church of All Saints is a Grade 1 listed building believed to date from the 12th century.  The church has carillon type bells which are rung by our stalwart bell ringers before services and comprise a peel of 8 Hannington chimes donated in 1891. The organ is a restored Henry Bevington & Sons instrument built in the 1880’s and restored and installed into our church in 2017, purchased with the help of fund raising and grants. It has a pleasing appearance and an attractive tone.

 

The church is classified as a Festival church which means we hold a few services during the year, including Harvest Festival and Remembrance Sunday. The Carols By Candlelight service on Christmas Eve, is always very popular and very well supported. 

​

The village hall provides an ideal venue for social activities. Fundraising functions for both the village hall and the church, through suppers, film nights and teas, are well attended.

​

A versatile choir – The Wednesday Singers – hold their practices frequently; they raise funds for the church and other good causes and are often asked to sing at weddings. It’s not a church choir but it is run by the church organist.
