Welcome

Ashdon is a village on the Essex /Cambridgeshire border four miles north-east of the town of Saffron Walden, and All Saints Church has been serving the village community for more than 600 years (please see our history page). 

All the family are most welcome at any of our services, which are shown here. Our services are on the  second and fourth Sundays and from January 2023 Sunday services are at 9.00 am followed by refreshments in the Church Rooms. On the first and third Sundays, there is a service at St Botolph’s in the neighbouring village of Hadstock, also at 9.00am. We serve refreshments in the Church Rooms AFTER services on the second  and fourth Sundays of the month, with a shared breakfast from 8.00am BEFORE our service on the fourth Sunday – all are welcome.

During December we celebrate the season of Advent and will be holding our special services – our services will follow a different pattern during this period.  Our church will be beautifully decorated with flowers, Christmas Tree and Crib as the Christmas Story evolves. We welcome all to our church and we will be joined by our friends from Hadstock and Ashdon Baptist church for some of these services.  For full details of our Christmas Services please see.

The building is open daily for private prayer or reflection and as a place of sanctuary, continuing to be available for the community as it has been for so many years. 

We are part of the Saffron Walden Ministry team, a group of 12 local churches .   For those unable to come to church for whatever reason, a variety of services available online from different churches.   See our Links page for the website for St Marys Saffron Walden. 

A newly revised London to Walsingham pilgrimage route passes through Ashdon and All Saints  For more information please click here.
