English: All Saints, Nocton St Peter's, the original church on this site, fell into disrepair. The then owner of Nocton Hall, Frederick Robinson, Earl of Ripon intended to replace it, but died in 1859 before this could be done. His widow Lady Sarah took over the plan. The building was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style considered mandatory for new churches in the Victorian era. The 'best' period of this Gothic style was the Early Decorated, originally dated at about 1300, and Sir George designed the new church accordingly. The builder was Mr W Hudleston. Because Lord Ripon's birthday was 1 November, All Saints Day, his grieving widow changed the dedication from St Peter to All Saints. The church was consecrated on 16 December 1862, initially without the south aisle and south porch. These were in the original plans and were added in 1872 after Lady Sarah's death, in 1867, by her son.
