 History of All Saints Nocton Church
However, the owners of Nocton Hall, George Hobart (3rd Earl of Buckinghamshire) and his wife Albinia Bertie, did not like the church being "too inconveniently close to their mansion", possibly because of Albinia's taste for gambling (which led to the Nocton estate being temporarily mortgaged in 1786 to pay her debts).
The then owner of Nocton Hall, Frederick Robinson, Earl of Ripon, who had married George and Albinia's grand-daughter Sarah Albinia, intended to replace it, but died in 1859 before this could be done.
His widow Lady Sarah took over the plan, intending to build the new church as "a monument of affection, erected by a Noble widow in memory of a Noble husband." The building was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the "Gothic Revival" style considered mandatory for new churches in the Victorian era.
