One of Hampshire's finest Norman churches, large enough to be called the Cathedral of North-East Hampshire
All Saints is a large and unusually complete Norman church, begun in the 1170s and grand enough for its scale to have earned the nickname the “Cathedral of North-East Hampshire”. Its chancel, with heavy round arches and rib vaulting, is among the finest Transitional-Norman work in Hampshire.
The one part that is not medieval is the tower. The original central tower was taken down and replaced, in 1657, by the red-brick tower that stands over the crossing today — an unusual thing to raise in the Commonwealth years, when almost no churches were built.
It stands in the old village of Crondall, in the far north-east corner of the county near Farnham just over the Surrey border, its churchyard ringed by tile-hung and timbered houses.
