All Saints Church is a traditional Church of England church located north-west of the town of Stone in Staffordshire and is part of the Diocese of Lichfield. It is located in village of Standon which sits among plentiful and beautiful farmland, which has been farmed for centuries. The Church is situated on Mill Lane at the crossroads with Church Lane and Rock Lane.

The Church building dates from 1086 and is mentioned in the Domesday Book and Church records date from 1558.

"Immediately before the Conquest Siward held Standon, and in 1086 it was held by Brian from Robert of Stafford. A priest was recorded at that time."

The building was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1846. The west wall of the nave and north aisle date from the Norman period. The church tower was built in the fourteenth century.
