Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church built between 1885 and 1887 by architect R.J. Johnson, with the tower added in 1896. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a moulded plinth, featuring roofs of plain tiles over the nave and chancel, and Welsh slate elsewhere. The church is designed in the Perpendicular style and includes a west tower with porches, an aisled nave, and a chancel.

The three-stage tower has a prominent high four-light window with reticulated tracery, a small two-light square-headed window above it, and high three-light transomed belfry openings with a sill string. There are angle buttresses on the tower, and the nave has ten clerestory windows while the chancel has five, all of which are square-headed and consist of two lights. The aisles feature similar windows that vary from two to four lights, and the east window is a large seven-light two-centred arch.

The east front has angle buttresses, and there is a double door in the north-west porch. Architectural details include Tudor flower corbel tables, battlemented parapets, and gargoyles on the tower corbel table above a quatrefoiled band.

Inside, the church has painted plaster walls with ashlar dressings, a panelled dado, and an arch-braced collar-beam roof with painted carved bosses. The nave features octagonal piers with high plinths supporting five-bay arcades, while the chancel has a two-bay arcade. The high chancel arch and tower arch are notable, and the chancel and tower baptistry feature high-quality panelling by Hedley, who also created the rood screen. The stained glass includes an east window by Heaton, Butler and Baynes of London. Additionally, there is an elaborately-carved Gothic font and cover.
