# Church of All Saints, Sutton Bingham

The Church of All Saints in Sutton Bingham in the civil parish of Closworth, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th and 13th centuries and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

The interior includes a series of 14th century wall paintings, including, in the Chancel, the Coronation of the Virgin, and several bishops and saints. On the north wall of the nave is a portrayal of the Death of the Virgin (pictured below right).
