Description

The Church of All Saints is a church built in 1766, with a 20th-century vestry. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a pantile roof. The building is a six-bay rectangular structure with the vestry attached at the northeast corner. The round-headed windows feature keys and three pointed lights, though the sills show remnants that may indicate the presence of single mullions. The west facade has two windows, a shorter third window, and a louvred opening above. It is adorned with two stone pinnacles and a square open bell cote topped with a domical vault. The south facade includes four windows and an entrance on the west side, which is framed by a plain timber architrave, frieze, and cornice, leading to a 12-panel door. There are remains of an inscription on the frieze that records the original building date of 1641. The east facade features a five-light window and a louvred opening, while the north facade has an eastern entrance beneath a window and connects to the vestry.

Inside, the church has a cornice and flat ceiling. A west gallery supported by two iron columns features an entablature with a dentilled cornice and a plain parapet. The side galleries, added later, are supported by quatrefoil iron piers on high octagonal bases, with entablatures that have fluted friezes and dentilled cornices, also with plain parapets. The east end of the church has an apse with an organ loft on the right and an enclosed porch with a stair on the left. There is a 19th-century altar rail with traceried roundels, a 19th-century timber pulpit with arcading and figures, and two stalls with similar tracery. The octagonal timber font, dated 1881, features a timber relief panel depicting the flight into Egypt. Wall tablets in the galleries date from 1800 to 1840.
