All Saints' Church, Stanton Hill is a special parish church located in Stanton Hill, a village in Nottinghamshire, England. It is part of the Church of England, which is the main Christian church in England. This church serves as a place for people in the community to worship and gather.

Even though the church building itself is not officially protected as a historic site, the War Memorial standing in front of it is very important. This memorial is a "Grade II listed" site. This means the government has officially recognized it as a building or structure that is special because of its history or design, and it needs to be protected.

History of the Church

All Saints' Church was built a long time ago, starting in 1899. The very first stone, called the foundation stone, was put in place by a famous person named the Countess of Carnarvon. This marked the beginning of the church's construction.

Church Family Structure

All Saints' Church is like a "daughter church" to St. Andrew's Church in a nearby village called Skegby. This means it's closely connected to St. Andrew's and works together with it as part of the same church family or group of churches.
