Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox church All Saints' Church is an Anglican church and the parish church of West Haddon, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade I listed building and stands on the north side of the High Street.

There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for West Haddon in the Domesday Book.[1]

The main structure of the present building was erected in the 12th to 14th centuries, with further work in the 17th and 19th centuries. The church now consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel and west tower. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website.[2]

Monuments

Three chest tombs in the churchyard, all constructed of lias ashlar, are Grade II listed buildings in their own right. The descriptions on the Historic England website are:

  • Early 18th century. Bolection moulding pilasters at corners. About 6 metres south of the south aisle.[3]
  • Late 17th century. Panelled sides with large chamfered slab over. About 9 metres south of chancel.[4]
  • Early 18th century. Plain pilasters. Partly legible inscription. Has close relationship to Church of All Saints. About 2 metres south of chancel.[5]

The last of this list appears to be mistaken in claiming an 18th-century origin, as the inscription that can still be read on it is consistent with that recorded early in the 18th century by John Bridges:

"Here lyeth honest Griggory,
Which was a true friend to the Ministry;
And the soul’s true friend for eternity,
And one of the best fathers to his ability;
Hee studdied the true form of Christianity,
The which he hoped would abound to posterity.
Grigory Palmer Minister of West-Haddon 52
years and odd months: it being the place of his
Nativity; in which parish he first received his
breath, and also ended his last the 11 day of June
1693. Hee being 85 years, 5 months, and odd
days old."[6]

Registers

The parish registers survive from 1653, the historic registers being deposited at Northamptonshire Record Office.[7]

Benefice

West Haddon is part of a united Benefice along with Long Buckby, Watford and Winwick. Each parish retains its own church building.[8]
