The parish church. A square tower, and a clock that strikes the half hours.
All Hallows is the parish church of Seabrook. It stands on the hill at the west end of Church Row, near Seabrook Gardens. The square tower can be seen from the pier and from the road in from Hartbury.
The foundations are Norman and the rest has been added at intervals since. The clock on the tower strikes the hours and the half hours and can be heard along the High Street.
The churchyard is entered by a lychgate and has yew trees, iron railings and graves going back several centuries. In the far corner is a marker that bears no name, only the date 1903. The church records do not say who is buried there.
Harvest festival is held in September and the carol service in December. Visitors are welcome at all services and are asked to keep to the paths in the churchyard.

“You can set your watch by that clock. Gerald Marsh does, and he mends them for a living.”
