Description

The Church of All Hallows is a parish church built between 1888 and 1889. It is constructed from tooled dressed sandstone in narrow courses and features a plain red tiled roof. The church has an aisleless nave with a porch at the west end and a chancel that includes a north vestry. Designed in the Early English style, the nave consists of three bays with a chamfered plinth and mainly narrow paired lancets above a sill string. There is a single off-centre buttress on both the north and south sides, and the roof is steeply pitched with coped gables.

The west end is diagonally buttressed and has a round window in a stepped hollow-chamfered surround above the porch, along with a gabled bellcote featuring a pointed opening. The junction between the nave and chancel has buttresses with gablets on both the north and south sides. The chancel is two bays long and has an enriched hollow-chamfered eaves band, paired lancets, a central buttress, and a large cinquefoil window on the south side. The east end has three stepped lancets above a sill string and a steeply-pitched roof with a coped gable.

A small gabled porch features a two-light chamfered-mullioned window on the west side and a pointed chamfered doorway under a hoodmould on the south side. The vestry has a gabled north end with an external chimney, a pointed doorway, and a two-light mullioned window on the east side, also with a steeply-pitched roof.

Inside, the church has a plain plastered interior. The nave contains seven trusses supported on mid-wall corbels, featuring brattished, arch-braced collars. The chancel has a hollow-chamfered chancel arch of two orders under a hoodmould that dies into the wall, an enriched barrel roof, and a trefoil-headed piscina and aumbry on the south side. The east window is set in a large pointed rear arch with colonettes and contains stained glass from 1894 depicting Christ with St. Ruth and St. Hilda.
