All Saints', Granby is a Church of England parish church in Granby, Nottinghamshire, England. The building is Grade I listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for outstanding architectural or historic interest.
History
The church is medieval (with fragments dating from the 12th century), but it was reduced in size and the tower repaired about 1777. The chancel originally had a terracotta east window, which was replaced by one of stone during restoration work in 1888. Fragments of the original, including two incomplete heads, lie in the chancel. Within a 1958 south porch is a heavily moulded, 13th-century doorway in Early English style.
