Anne T visited on 16th Jul 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 All Saints, Bradbourne: Our last visit of this holiday. We had a very 'interesting' journey to Bradbourne, as the police had closed off the main road and routed all traffic down some very minor, single track roads, in which traffic was trying to move in both directions, and not succeeding, which was very frustrating.
There is a large parking area outside the church, although the actual entrance to the churchyard was a bit tricky to find, as there were a number of entrances to different driveways, and we ended up walking down one of these by accident.
The first cross is just inside the churchyard, to your right as you enter from the south. The sundial is just a little further to the north-north-east.
We missed the second cross within the churchyard, as we didn't have access to the HE website at the time of our visit, and whilst looking around, thought it was just another grave marker, so I didn't photograph it.
Loved the carving on the door into the south side of the tower.
Whilst there, a couple of other visitors were very keen for us to see the grave of actor Alan Bates ("Who?" I asked, to much disgust on their part), so we did wander round to find it, out of curiosity.

Reconstructed Anglo Saxon cross shaft in the churchyard of All Saints, Bradbourne.
Historic England lists three separate entries for All Saints Church:
Historic England List ID 1008823 Cross Shaft at SK 20808 52725;
Historic England List ID 1008824 Standing Medieval Cross at SK 20810 52726; and
Historic England List ID 1335185 Sundial at SK 20807 52742.
The latter two, the Standing Cross and the Sundial are part of the same physical structure, with the steps and pedestal being part of the original medieval cross, now topped by the sundial which was placed there in the 18th or 19th century.
The church itself is recorded as Historic England List ID 1109479. There is a very interestingly carved door on the south side of the tower at the west end of the church.
