All Saints Church, Kingston

Building began in 1120 under Henry I, on the site where King Egbert held a great council at Kingston in 838. The church is cruciform, with a central tower, a four-bay nave and a clerestory, mixing Norman, Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic work, and is built of flint with stone dressings and stone battlemented parapets. It has twelve bells and an eighteenth-century carillon. The chapel of St Mary stood beside it until 1730, when its walls fell and killed the sexton; the Coronation Stone was recovered from the ruins. The pair of gate piers at the churchyard entrance carries its own Grade II entry, NHLE 1184174, and the memorial gates outside are separately Grade II, NHLE 1432596. Of the three Grade I entries in the borough, this is the building; the Coronation Stone, NHLE 1080066, and Clattern Bridge, NHLE 1080064, are structures.
