Scene Description: Source caption: "All Saints Church, Sanderstead. This is the approach to All Saints Church from Onslow Gardens. In 1801 the Parish of Sanderstead, centred on All Saints Church, had a population of 204 and was described as ‘an idyllic village with herdsmen, some cottages, woods, fields finely cultivated and sheep walks well stocked and with distant views of the Royal Castle of Windsor’. The churchyard of All Saints Church stands on the summit of Sanderstead Hill at 596 feet above sea level. There is a tradition that there was a Saxon church on the site but the present church was begun in about 1230, with the tower added about 1310."

There is an entry for Sanderstead [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3461/sanderstead/] [accessed 21 March 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: " Although some axe tooling on the stones at the east end of the north aisle suggests an earlier date, the present church was begun about 1230"; it reports a modern font here. The modern font is located at the west end of the north aisle.
