All Saints' Church is the parish church for Fawley in the county of Hampshire. It is one of the three original medieval parish churches along the area to the west of Southampton Water know locally as the Waterside.
The current building dates from the twelfth century and appears to been built over two periods, 1170–1210 and 1300–1340. [1] There is reference to an earlier church, likely to be on this site, dating from 971 and possibly some parts were reused in the current building [2]
The oldest part of the church is St Nicholas's Chapel, and there is conjecture this was also the original dedication of the church. A porch was added to the west entrance in 1840. [3]
The church was bombed [4] in 1940 and was badly damaged losing all of its medieval stained glass. It wasn't until 1954 before the church was repaired and reconsecrated.
There is a plaque in the church dedicated to the rector who helped in the restoration and re-dedication of the church.
The plaque reads:
In memory of The Revd. John Mearing rector 1947-1960 by whose inspiration this church was restored and re-dedicated 12. September 1954 after severe damage by enemy action 23. November 1940
In the west window of St Nicholas's chapel there is a collage made from recovered stained glass.
Samuel Kinkead was a South African fighter ace from the First World War and Schneider Trophy pilot who died whilst attempting to break the airspeed record in 1928. [3]
The church now has six bells [5] dating from 1603. The four earlier bells [6] were rehung and augmented in 1909 with two extra trebles

The church was founded in the 13th century, but the greater part of the church dates from the 15th century when Blakeney was a seaport of some importance. Of the original structure only the chancel has survived rebuilding, perhaps owing to its link to a nearby Carmelite friary. An unusual architectural feature is a second tower, used as a beacon, at the east end. Other significant features are the vaulted chancel with a stepped seven-light lancet window, and the hammerbeam roof of the nave. St Nicholas is a nationally important building, with a Grade I listing for its exceptional architectural interest.
