In common with all Parish Churches, All Saints in constant need of restoration.
In 1999 , a special
All Saints Restoration Fund was set up to refurbish and enhance the interior of
the ancient building. The wooden shingles on the spire roof also needed replacing
a problem exacerbated by the attentions of a Green Woodpecker which bored holes
in the woodwork to extract the insects thriving in the decaying wood. The Church was closed throughout the Summer of 2001 for a major restoration and the newly refurbished Church reopened in time for Harvest Festival in the Autumn. |

2005 after a pastoral reorganisation of Local Parishes, Farringdon became part of
the newly created Northanger Benefice which brought together the Parishes of Chawton,
Selborne, East Worldham, West Worldham Hartley Mauditt, Newton Valence, East Tisted,
Oakhanger and Kingsley.

Gilbert White, the Selborne naturalist, was curate at All Saints for many years before he took up his post as curate at Selborne, in the neighbouring parish. |

Although the present church building dates back to the 1300's, structural changes took place in the 19th century under the influence of Rev Thomas Massey, rector for 62 years. Massey was something of an eccentric with a penchant for building. He
was responsible for the construction of The Rev. Massey died in 1919, before the building was completed, he is buried alongside his wife, near the Church door, their graves marked with Celtic crosses |
