All Saints' Church, Sutton-on-Trent
History
A Saxon church was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, but was replaced by the current Norman building. The tower contains Saxon foundations and Norman herringbone work; the upper stages are 13th and early 14th century respectively. The Mering Chapel was built around 1525.
