The Church of All Saints at Sutton Mandeville dates from an estimated 1270 and has a 15th century tower. The church was repaired in 1850 and enlarged and rebuilt in 1862 by T B Miles of Shaftesbury.

The Norman tower, with belfry windows added by English builders, may earlier have been a watch tower. A new top was added in 1709 and repairs carried out in 1897. The treble bell is 14th century casting, almost certainly from the Salisbury foundry, and the other two bells are dated 1615-16. Unfortunately, the bells can now only be chimed as the tower is not strong enough to stand much vibration.
