Description
The Old Church of All Saints is a church that was rebuilt in 1764 on the site of a former chantry and has undergone alterations. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond and features a stone slate roof. The building has a rectangular two-bay plan with a small sanctuary. The west gable includes a small 20th-century brick porch that covers a chamfered round-headed inner door, along with two round-headed gallery windows that have radiating glazing bars. At the apex, there is a small bellcote, although it does not contain a bell. The side walls feature two large round-headed windows with altered glazing, which have circular tracery in their heads. The very short sanctuary is highlighted by a large Venetian window set in a stone frame, with a gauged brick head and a triple keystone. A small vestry has been added to the north-east corner.
Inside, the church has a wooden 18th-century west gallery supported by four fluted wooden pillars, which feature a moulded frieze and a panelled front. The pulpit matches this style, and there is a communion rail with turned balusters and fluted gateposts, although the gate is missing. Additionally, there is an 18th-century vase font made of Coade stone.
