Reception Venue
All Saints Theydon Garnon has an extensive connection and history with the Chisenhale-Marsh family who own Gaynes Park, Essex (please view our History section of the website). We are therefore delighted to recommend Gaynes Park as a beautiful reception venue to compliment your wedding in our Grade 1 listed Church. The Barns and Orangery at Gaynes Park, which became the National Winner for ‘Best Venue’ in the 2012 Wedding Industry Awards is situated approximately 2 miles from the Church.
For further information regarding Gaynes Park, please visit their website: www.gaynespark.co.uk

The clergy are always ready and happy to minister to anyone in the parish who asks for them. After a death, family or friends of the person who has died usually ask a local funeral director to make the arrangements on their behalf, but you are welcome to contact the Vicar directly, if you wish. The 'Contact Us' button below can be used.
Families are welcome to use All Saints for the funeral service. The churchyard is open for new burials to persons resident in the parish or on the electoral roll at the time of death.
There are rules governing memorials and headstones which apply to all churches in the Diocese of Chelmsford. They can be found here.
