All Saints Church, East Garston dates from 1100AD and is built from flint and stone with a central tower. It is a late Norman cruciform plan church and several Norman features still survive. These include a carved south doorway in the 16th century porch, a blocked north door and a pillar piscina. The north chapel dates from the 14th century. The church became very rundown and required major restoration between 1876 and 1882. The chancel was completely pulled down and rebuilt during this restoration.
Parking is on the side of the road just before the gates. To get to the church walk through the gates, passed the 'No unauthorised vehices' sign and turn left.
