All Saints Church

All Saints Church

The present Church, which is one of the two mentioned under the entry for Odiham in the Domesday Book, is believed to have replaced earlier buildings on this site. It is the largest parish chucrch in the north of the diocese and in 1851 when the old square box pews were removed, the new open seats and galleries could accomodate 1,200 parishioners. It has been describes as "an illustrated history of church architecture", and an excellent guide describing the peculiarities of the Royal Coat of Arms, are available from just inside the main door.
