Nothing but a row of headstones, a barely discernible mound and a commemorative stone remains of the church of All Saints Weeting which once stood on this site. The church was abandoned in 1739 when its tower collapsed, the graveyard continued to be used for burials up until 1890. All gravestones were removed from their original places and lined up against the fence of a property on the edge of the consecrated ground and the area is now a playing field and recreation ground. The Village Hall is on the edge of the site. According to Batcock quoting Blomefield, it was originally built in the 14th or 15th c. and had a square tower with diagonal buttresses and south aisle. The nave was about 35 ft long and the chancel 33ft in length but only about 18 ft wide. Attached to the south side of the church was a porch.

At the junction between Park View and South Park.
