The church of All saints is a small random stone church from l3th Century (or earlier) origin but largely rebuilt in the 17th Century and restored in the 19th Century. The west tower was added in 1903 and encloses the heavy timber-framing with braces and trellis struts of the earlier belfry. The north wall of the nave has a window of Norman origin and there is a 16th Century brick window of 2 lights, with panel tracery. The south porch is from the 16th Century and there is a 13th Century square font with shallow blank arcading on the sides.
In 1989 the parish of North Benfleet was united with that of Bowers Gifford (Order-in-Council of 1 November 1989), the church of All Saints becoming one of two parish churches of the united parish. At the same time that part North Benfleet lying to the north of the A127 road was transferred to the parish of Wickford and Runwell. The last services at All Saints church were held in October 1994, and the church was declared redundant. The building survives as an ancient monument (2003).
