High Kelling - The District Church

The District Church

All Saints Church is a District Church in the Parish of Holt with High Kelling. The building was built in 1924 and was the chapel of Bramblewood Sanatorium which cared for the sufferers of tuberculosis. After the Sanatorium closed in 1955, the residents of High Kelling purchased the Chapel for £500 for their place of worship. The Chapel became licensed for worship in 1970 although it had been then in use for 15 years. In 1977 the Chapel became part of the ecclesiastical parish of Holt.

    Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.

    The hippopotamus’s day
    Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
    God works in a mysterious way—
    The Church can sleep and feed at once.
