Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church built between 1876 and 1878 by architect J.P. Pritchett. It is constructed of squared, rock-faced sandstone in narrow courses and features graduated green slate roofs. The church has a west tower topped with a spire, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a chancel that includes a combined organ chamber and vestry on the north side. The architectural style is Decorated, characterized by mainly 2-light windows that have cinquefoil-headed lights and cusped quatrefoils beneath hoodmoulds with headstops.

The tower is angle-buttressed and consists of three stages, featuring trefoil-headed lancets on the second stage and 2-light louvred bell openings above. The tall broach spire adds to the structure's height. The nave, which has three bays, and the narrower chancel with two bays both have chamfered plinths, offset sill bands, and steeply-pitched roofs with coped gables. The east end has a foundation stone laid on June 6th, 1876, and a 3-light window in the angle-buttressed wall. The gabled porch has a moulded pointed doorway and trefoil-headed lancets on the returns. The organ chamber/vestry has a monopitch roof, a lancet window on the south, and a pointed doorway on the east.

Inside, the church features a plain and plastered interior with encaustic-tiled floors. The pointed moulded chancel arch is supported by detached marble demi-columns with stiff-leaf capitals and has a sundial re-set above it. There are pointed chamfered arches leading to the organ chamber and the baptistery, which is located at the west end beneath the tower. The roofs are supported by arch-braced trusses. In the baptistery, there are two stone fonts: one medieval with a moulded base, cylindrical stem, and an octagonal-plan cup-shaped bowl, and another from the late 19th century. The walls of the baptistery also display 17th-century wall monuments and fragments of medieval grave slabs. Additionally, a fragment of a possibly 10th-century cross shaft, decorated with complex interlacing patterns, is located under a bench in the porch.
