All Hallows has a tall, aisleless 11thc. nave with pilaster strips and a blocked S doorway with long-and-short quoining. The W tower and chancel date from 1728 and 1870 respectively. The church contains a plain font and a loose Romanesque capital.
In 1086 Woolbeding was held by Odo of Winchester. It had a church.
The provenance of the cushion capital is not known. It must have been free-standing, and possibly belonged to an item of church furnishings rather than an architectural ensemble.
