All Saints Church, Buttington
History
The land on which the Church of All Saints stands formed part of a manor or grange to Strata Marcella Abbey. It is uncertain whether there was a church building, or indeed any building, on the site at this time. Cadw dates the present church to the 14th or 15th century. The porch has a datestone for 1686. Until 1849, the church was in the English Diocese of Hereford but it was transferred to St Asaph at this time. The church was heavily restored internally in the 1870s.
The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of St Asaph and regular services are held.
Architecture and description
All Saints is an extremely simple church comprising a combined nave and chancel with a squat bellcote above. The building material is mainly local rubble, whitewashed externally. All Saints is as a Grade I listed building. The former vicarage is listed at Grade II.
