Description
The Church of All Saints is a church built between 1865 and 1866, designed by J. Medland Taylor. It features coursed rubble construction with ashlar detailing and a slate roof. The layout includes a chancel and nave with aisles, a clerestory, a double south transept, a south-west tower, and a north-west porch. The church has six-bay aisles and a clerestory, with two and three-light windows that have plate tracery, weathered buttresses, steep roofs, and coped gables. The four-stage tower has set-back buttresses, one of which includes a staircase, a south porch, two-light openings at the bell stage, enriched eaves, and a broach spire. The transept features two gables of different sizes, while the two-bay chancel has a five-light east window. Inside, there is a double-chamfered nave arcade supported by circular columns with elaborate non-archaeological capitals. The chancel has scissor-braced roof trusses that are supported on ornate columned corbels. Although this is one of Medland Taylor's simpler churches, it still holds significant interest.
