Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church built between 1861 and 1864 by architect E.G. Paley. It is constructed from rock-faced stone and features two steeply pitched slate roofs. The church includes a west tower, a nave, and a three-sided apsidal chancel, all in one structure, along with a separately roofed south aisle, a north transept, and a gabled sacristy. It is designed in the Early English style.

The broad tower has diagonal buttresses, a three-light west window, pointed two-light belfry louvres, and a broach spire with clock gablets on the cardinal faces, as well as a stair turret on the north side. The south side of the aisle features a prominent gabled porch with a steeply pitched roof, and four arched windows, each with hoodmoulds and two cusped lights topped with a trefoil. The north side of the nave is buttressed and has three similar windows, but these have either a quatrefoil or cinquefoil design in the head.

Inside, the aisle arcade consists of three short columns, with the central column being hexagonal, and all columns have heavily foliated capitals that are different from one another. These support moulded two-centred arches. The roof is scissor-braced with applied arch-bracing between the purlins, and the chancel arch is shafted with foliated capitals. The chancel has three two-light windows with hoodmoulds featuring foliated stops. The chancel walls display painted geometrical patterns, and the ceiling panels are also elaborately painted. The windows were created by Shrigley and Hunt at various dates, except for the one in the transept, which is said to be of French origin.
