Description
The Church of All Saints is a complex building with elements from the 11th or 12th century, the late 15th century, and the 18th and 20th centuries, situated off Liverpool Road in Church Lawton. The tower is of Perpendicular style, the nave is neo-classical, and a Romanesque door surround is incorporated. The tower and porch are constructed from red and yellow sandstone ashlar, while the nave is of Flemish bond brick with a plain tile roof.
The western tower has diagonal buttresses to the corners. A deeply chamfered doorway with a pointed arch, hood mould and label stops is on the western face, above which is a three-light window likely dating to the 19th century. A two-light louvred belfry opening with Y-tracery, a hood mould, and figurehead label stops (one being a grotesque head) sits above. The tower’s north face features a 20th-century service lean-to and a string course. The southern face displays the initials "I B" divided by a chalice in relief, and a circular clockface below the belfry opening.
The nave’s south face comprises four bays of brick, with a stone plinth and a 1926 war memorial porch on the left-hand side. The porch is gabled with a pointed, chamfered arch, incorporating benches with tablets inscribed with the names of the deceased, set within pointed niches. A Romanesque door surround, apparently re-positioned, adjoins the porch. Pilasters with a hollow chamfer are either side of the doorway, with leaf and dart moulding at capital level and a chevron pattern to the arch and intrados. To the right of the porch are two round-arched windows and a doorway with a stone surround and lunette window above. The north face is similar, with two round-headed windows at left, two windows at right, and a blocked doorway to the right of centre. The west end has a Venetian window with a hipped roof and a blocked doorway at the right.
Inside, a western gallery features a front of raised and fielded panels supported on iron columns of quatrefoil section.
