"There has been a place of worship here since at least 1209, and All Saints’ church is thought to be Saxon in origin. The base of the tower is of 15th century construction; the present building was reconstructed in Victorian times, being re-dedicated in 1861. In 1884 the tower suffered severe storm damage and was restored in 1909. In former times the church was referred to as Old Hallows, and the present Church Lane was known as Old Hallows Lane. The bells were restored by Taylors bell foundry in Loughborough in 2013."

"The church at Gilmorton has been heavily restored by the Victorians. The church consists of a west tower and spire, north & south aisles, chancel and vestry. There are some early 14th century fabric in the three bay arcades but then we must go to the Perpendicular tower (15th century) to see the next oldest part of the building. The rest of the church dates from rebuilds and renovation work carried out between 1860 and 1909.

In 1897 the north porch was added and in 1909 the recessed spire was rebuilt by C. A. Bassett-Smith. "
