Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a ruined church located south of Sockburn Lane. The earliest parts of the church date back to before the Norman Conquest, with a south aisle added in the late 12th century. The chancel was rebuilt in the early 13th century and a 14th-century chantry, now known as the Conyers chapel, was restored and re-roofed in 1900 by W.H. Knowles. The church is constructed from squared red sandstone, with the Conyers chapel featuring a stone-flagged roof. The nave is roofless, with fragmentary foundations of the south aisle and the Conyers chapel remaining. The chancel is also roofless, with only foundations visible.

The nave is tall and narrow, featuring two bays. Long-and-short work quoins were noted in 1900 but are now obscured by vegetation. The south aisle has disappeared, but a two-bay arcade remains, showcasing two double-chamfered pointed arches on a central pier with a square plinth, chamfered base, and moulded octagonal capital. Foundations are all that remain of the north and south chancel walls. A double-chamfered pointed chancel arch sits on mid-wall corbels. The flat-buttressed east end stands almost to its full height, with a chamfered plinth and three stepped lancets featuring chamfered reveals, linked hoodmoulds, and deeply-splayed rear-arches. The Conyers chapel has a chamfered plinth on its north and west sides, a largely-rebuilt, diagonally-buttressed north wall, a wide double-chamfered pointed arch in the south wall, and two- and three-light square-headed windows with Perpendicular tracery. It has a steeply-pitched roof with moulded coped gables and shaped footstones.

The Conyers chapel houses a remarkable collection of well-preserved sculpture, including pre-Conquest cross shafts, hog-backed and tegulated grave covers, cross heads, medieval grave covers, some with 14th and 15th-century inlaid brasses commemorating members of the Conyers family. Other items include a fragment of square-headed window tracery, a circular font bowl, two carved panels possibly from an altar tomb, and a mid-13th-century effigy of a cross-legged knight. The site is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
