History edit
The church was built in the 12th century. It was repaired in 1872 and restored between 1930 and 1945. It is in a parish with two other churches:
Somewhat confusingly, Milton Mausoleum is sometimes also referred to as All Saints' Church, West Markham.
Organ edit
The church contains an organ dating from 1860 by Bevington and Sons.[2]
Bell edit
The church has one bell which is "swing chimed", it is hung on half a wheel.
Burials edit
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.[3]
