Description

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building featuring a tower dated 1512 and a roof dated 1661, which was reused during restoration work carried out between 1853 and 1855 by James Harrison. The church includes a chancel and vestry added in 1891. It is constructed from ashlar red sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. The layout consists of a 3-bay nave, a 1-bay chancel, a 3-stage west tower, a vestry, and a south porch.

The porch has a 2-centred arched entrance, while the nave features rectangular 3-light and pointed 2-light windows designed in the Decorated style. The chancel contains a lancet window and a 3-light east window with reticulated tracery. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a west door with a 4-centred head under a label mould adorned with carved head stops. A 3-light west window, which breaks the bond, is topped with a crocketted ogee hood and flanked by tablets that read: "Hoc ca' panile f'x'm' e' a' d'ni MCCCCXII t'p'e R'c'i raulinso, rectoris ac prooibus b'n'facto ribus ejusdem orate." Above this are two empty niches. The tower also features similar 3-light louvred bell openings and gargoyles that support an embattled parapet.

Inside, the church boasts a good hammerbeam roof in the nave, with carved brackets displaying the inscriptions RD 1661 and JE 1661, along with wind-braced purlins. The edges of all main structural members are highlighted in black and white. The chancel arch is narrow and chamfered, supported by engaged octagonal columns, while a similar but taller arch leads to the tower. The octagonal font is set on a restored octagonal shaft. The tower shares a close resemblance to that at St Alban's, Tattenhall, and features the same mason's marks.
