The objectives of the Friends of All Saints’ (FOAS) is to work with All Saints’ Church, Emberton, Parochial Church Council to preserve and protect the fabric of the Church and Churchyard, and to raise funds to assist with improvements to make the building suitable for use by the community for a wide variety of activities. 

 

 

All Saints' Church is celebrating a very special anniversary this year as the first Rector, Robert de Emberton, was appointed in 1219 and so this year 800 years of worship in our lovely building will be celebrated. Anniversary events will be held during the year, and we are warmly invited to join them. Visit the church to see the 800 year timeline displayed.
