Burials
The church is the burial place of Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle. After his wife died in 1822, the 4th Duke built a church and mausoleum at Milton, Nottinghamshire, which was completed in 1833, and replaced All Saints as the parish church. In 1949 All Saints became the parish church again after restoration; the Mausoleum was left to decay until 1972 when it was taken into guardianship by the Churches Conservation Trust.[4]
