Description

The Church of All Saints is a chapel of ease dating from the 12th century, which underwent extensive restoration and partial rebuilding around 1845, possibly by Sir Edward Blackett. It is constructed of squared stone and ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. The building features a nave, chancel, and a west bellcote.

The three-bay nave retains much medieval masonry, with the west end supported by two large old buttresses. There are remnants of quoins that may indicate a former tower arch. The south portal, dating from around 1845, has a round arch flanked by three orders of columns and an unmoulded arch, with decorative ironwork on the door. On either side of the portal are flat buttresses, a corbel table, and two tiers of small round-headed windows—two to the left and three to the right.

The three-bay chancel has been restored in the Early English style and includes a priest's door and lancet windows, along with a decorated three-light east window. The north wall of the chancel is blank, while the north wall of the nave features similar detailing with a row of small round-headed windows.

The church has a gabled roof and a large bellcote topped with a stone pyramid roof and a wheel-head cross finial. The base of the bellcote on the west side displays two grotesque beasts' heads.

Inside, there is a 13th-century chamfered chancel arch resting on 12th-century semicircular responds; the north capital is adorned with scallops and saltire crosses, while the south capital features scallops and intersecting arches. The west wall incorporates 19 whole or partial medieval grave covers, along with several architectural fragments. There is also an 18th-century baluster font.

Outside, against the chamfered south wall, there is a headstone for Robert Stott, dated 1800, which is well carved with a scrolled pedimented top, an angel, festoons, and symbols of death and eternity.
