The Church of All Saints is the Church of England parish church of Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, England. It has been listed Grade I.
The building is early 14th-century Decorated Gothic. The nave has a clerestory, north and south aisles and four-bay arcades.[2]
The west tower and spire are later Medieval Perpendicular Gothic additions. The top of the spire is about 150 feet (46 m) above ground.[3] In the 18th century the spire survived three lightning strikes: in 1720, 1794 and 1797.[4]
Restoration
All Saints was restored under the direction of George Gilbert Scott in 1865.[3] During the restoration notable stained-glass windows were added that were designed by the Pre-Raphaelite artists William Morris, Philip Webb, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown and Simeon Solomon and made by Morris & Co. There are also mosaics made by James Powell and Sons, one of which was designed by Henry Holiday.[5][2]
