All Saints Church is an active parish church in the village of Buttington, Powys, Wales. The village lies just to the north-east of Welshpool. The church dates from the 14th century and was twice restored in the 19th. It is designated by Cadw as a Grade I listed building.
The land on which the Church of All Saints stands formed part of a manor or grange to Strata Marcella Abbey.[1] It is uncertain whether there was a church building, or indeed any building, on the site at this time. Cadw dates the present church to the 14th or 15th century. The porch has a datestone for 1686. Until 1849, the church was in the English Diocese of Hereford but it was transferred to St Asaph at this time.[2] The church was heavily restored internally in the 1870s.
The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of St Asaph and regular services are held.[3]
All Saints is an extremely simple church comprising a combined nave and chancel with a squat bellcote above. The building material is mainly local rubble, whitewashed externally.[1] All Saints is as a Grade I listed building. The former vicarage is listed at Grade II.
