Welcome to Hinton Ampner

Situated as it is, within the grounds of, Hinton Ampner House, All Saints Church has over 60,000 potential visitors a year. Historically it is a grade 2 listed building going back to Saxon times. It was rebuilt in the 13th century and again in the 19th century.

Although All Saints. has only one parochial service each month, it has been used increasingly for joint services, where its easy access, bright interior and effective heating, makes it a good worship centre for the whole Benefice and for visitors to Hinton Ampner House. The church has seating for over 100 people, and is often full for these special services. Visitors enjoy seeing two beautiful stained glass windows,. Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire which were installed in 1970. The twin lights represent the Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire, from the Book of Exodus chapter 13.
