All Saints' Church, Kingston Seymour dates back to the late 14th/early 15th Century and is a Grade 1 listed building. The base of the font is much older than the church itself, being of Norman origin.
The church is surrounded on all sides by water and flooded in 1607, during the 18th Century and more recently in 1968 and 1981. There is a brass plaque in the church following the 1607 floods which reads:
"An inundation of the sea water by overflowing and breaking down the Sea banks; happened in this Parish of Kingstone-Seamore, and many others adjoining; by reason whereof many Persons were drown'd and much Cattle and Goods, were lost: the water in the Church was five feet high and the greatest part lay on the ground about ten days. WILLIAM BOWER"
