The church of All Saints at Earls Barton has a late Saxon tower
but is mainly 12-14th c, the Saxon Church belonged to a small
class of probably private churches of which that at Barton on
Humber is the best known. Its builder would have been an
immediate predecesser of Bondi, who held Earls Barton in 1066. (1)
Earthwork defences around the church were probably manorial, with
the church forming one element of the manorial buildings (see
SP 86 SE 29). (2)
In normal use. See photo. (3)
