All Saints is the village church of Drinkstone, sharing our Rector, the Rev'd Ruth Farrell, with Woolpit. It is a 14th century building, with wonderful acoustics, a beautiful 15th century oak screen, and a historically important organ. The
East Window is reckoned to be a particularly fine example of high Victorian stained glass and the font is believed to be the oldest manmade structure in the village! The church building is not only a beautiful historical monument, it is an excellent space for community use, having been extensively improved as part of a Millennium project. If you are interested in booking the church for an event, please contact us. The Church bookings diary shows availability.
- Our Rector and many of the congregation carry out regular home visits and provide quiet and confidential support where needed.
- Members of our congregation are working with:
- Chaplain in the Workplace, which provides a confidential listening ear and options for coping with difficulties, to employees in the Bury area (and which we have aided financially);
- The Street Pastors (for young people in Bury at night);
- Bury Christian Youth (BCY).
- Further afield, our Sunday School children are supporting Aid to Hospitals Worldwide and we have been backing the Khulangolwazi School project, in Mangusi, South Africa.
Thank you for my bus!

A particular ethos at All Saints is to get involved in the local and wider community. While the Harvest Supper and Christmas Fair are long standing events on the calendar, more recent community events such as the monthly Film Club and Village lunch have been introduced and are rapidly becoming very popular. Then there’s the annual Pancake race and children’s Halloween party, and a number of outings and activity days for the children - all children, not just those who go to Sunday School.
In addition, the Educational Charity provides:
- funding and equipment for the Junior and Senior Youth Clubs and backing for their activities
- grants towards educational/voluntary service trips for Drinkstone students
- educational grants, funding and support for educationally oriented village clubs and classes.
