Sudbourne All Saints Church A well-proportioned tower with a neat spirelet or ‘Hertfordshire spike’ pointing skyward over the embattled parapet greets you as you approach this lovely little church. Originally built by the Normans in the 12th c. it has been so over-restored that very little of the original remains. Since the Victorian rebuilding programme, the roof no longer differentiates between the nave and the chancel and it is the same inside. A north and south transept were also added at the same time.
