Recorded by Cities and Memory, with thanks to the Churches Conservation Trust. All Saint's Church, Nuneham Courtenay, Oxfordshire.

This stunning church was built in the 1760s by Solicitor-General Simon Harcourt as part of the landscaped park for Nuneham Park House. Built to a classical design, with a gleaming dome and six slender columns, the church is as magnificent as its setting overlooking the Thames. Inside, All Saints is a monument to wealth and taste, with Italian fittings, magnificent memorial sculptures and busts.
