Preservation Trust

A church has stood on the site of the present building in
Leighton Buzzard for more than 1,000 years. Today's
church, dedicated to All Saints, dates from 1277 and is an
outstanding example of early English architecture with a
60m spire on a squat tower. Inside it boasts a magnificent
15th century roof adorned with angels and saints
contrasting with 25 ferocious gargoyles around the
outside. The church was nearly lost in a massive fire in
1985, but it has been painstakingly restored. Look for
links to the All Saints' web page on page 4.

Unfortunately there is still much more work to do. The
next few pages contain the latest news about an appeal
for help, and information about the repairs. Read on, and
if you feel moved, please send us a donation.

The church has been described as the finest in
Bedfordshire and it is well worth a special visit. It is open
most days, but there is an excellent coffee shop open on
Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Leighton Buzzard is on
the main rail line from London Euston to Birmingham and
near to the A5 trunk road and M1 motorway.
