All Saints, Dunsby

 

Dunsby is a conservation village with approximately 50 dwellings and around 120 residents. The village was once owned by The Charterhouse Foundation, which still maintains connections.

​

All Saints’ Church, a Grade 1 listed building dating from 1190, became a Festival Church three years ago and no longer holds regular services. However, popular services like Harvest Festival, Remembrance Sunday, and Carols by Candlelight continue to take place.

​

The church is supported by a full PCC, with one churchwarden and another being inducted. The changing demographic has increased attendance by younger families. The church is well-supported by parishioners who help with cleaning, maintaining, and fundraising.

​

The village has a choir, The Wednesday Singers, whose concert proceeds often benefit the church. The Village Hall provides an ideal venue for social events. The church has carillon bells and a restored Henry Bevington & Sons pipe organ. The church's finances are in good order, thanks to regular donors.
