For over 800 years the church of All Saints has stood proudly at the centre of the Northamptonshire village of Great Addington.

The fabric of the church suffers from both erosion and corrosion. The lack of modern foundations means the building is subject to local earth movements. The effect of these gradual, but continuous changes can be overlooked for long periods, but eventually need to be addressed so that the building will continue to stand as a landmark at the centre of the community.

The Quinquennial Inspection Report dated 24th March 2017, prepared by Acanthus Clews, Architects, Banbury. Reports that ".. the lead sheeting on the South Aisle roof is in poor repair. Multiple patch repairs have been carried out to the sheets as well as lead burns/welds to rolls. Many of these repairs are failing with further splits, including those carried out since the last QI. Multiple splits are also evident to the flashings; the associated pointing is loose and open in areas. As part of any roof recovering project, the gutter linings should be inspected, any decayed timber renewed and sumps enlarged."
