Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church built in 1745, with alterations made by C.H. Fowler in 1876-77. It is constructed of coursed, squared sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Norman style. The church has a three-bay nave that includes a south porch and a north vestry, along with a lower apse leading to a shallow chancel. Each bay contains three grouped round-headed windows set in round-headed recesses, and there are three round-headed windows in the apse. The roof is topped with flat stone gable coping and includes a belfry.
