North Cerney Parish, All Saints Church, is located on a hill across the street from North Cerney Village. A small light shines through a stained glass window, bidding travelers welcome. All Saints is a typical Churn valley church, with a lovely old slate roof and a charming low saddle-back tower.

"The Churchyard Cross dates from the 14th century, but has been completely restored within the past ten years. There are some interesting table tombs in the churchyard and there is a complete record of every memorial and inscription, marking where they are set. The Cross was originally the memorial for all those buried on the south side - There was a great fear of the north side and no burials took place there. The coffin was taken out through the north door - it still is, the only time this door is used - but burials now take place on all sides and as it is now the custom for individual stones to be erected (this dates from the 17th century) it is impossible to re-use the ground as they did in medieval times."
