All Saints Church, Owston Between 1180-1200 the church was a simple structure of nave and chancel. All that remains of that early structure is the west wall showing typical herringbone masonry of the early Norman period. The tower was added in the thirteenth century. Between 1200-1250 the north aisle was added.  Between 1300-1350 a south aisle was added, the nave was extended and a new chancel was built.
