I'm afraid not, All Saints is a much bigger church. Here's a different view

Slim chance but very close unless it's the rear view:

Hiya Carol

Very similar structural shape, but the tower's not quite a match.  I think this one might end up in the too hard pile, as although I think it's quite picturesque, it's not unique enough.

Thanks for looking though, muchly appreciated!  ;D

I cannot add much to the discussion but to me it appears to be a 19th church - everything is a little too regular to be medieval and the clock seems to be part of the construction rather than an addition. Also it looks like a flint church again, so East Anglia possibly or the south-east. Could be in the suburbs of an expanding town

Steve

Thanks heaps Steve.  I think you've added a lot and given us plenty to think about and hopefully, help with searching.  8)

Don't forget the broached tower has a clock in it and there is a Lych (sp) Gate.

Joy

Thanks Joy.  Another search possibility, every bit helps!  :) :)

Another key search word "octagonal"….should compile a list!  ;D  Thanks so much for persevering!

I'm pretty sure this church was built after 1850, although the broached spire design goes back to the 1400's or earlier. Evidently, the design came back into fashion in later 19th Century. Really bad news is such churches can be found all over England. For example see Monxton, Hampshire.

Only thing with the subject, is the flat landscape so East Anglia is favourite.

As this one is being a bit elusive, I'll post another one that may be a bit easier.

I thought I would give this one a 'bump'
It should be an easier one to find with it's diaper roof and broached spire. Should be, but.....!
