Description

The Church of All Saints is a church built between 1891 and 1893 by the architectural firm Austin and Paley. It is constructed from dressed, snecked red sandstone and features a 20th-century cement-tile roof. The church has a cruciform layout, consisting of a five-bay aisled nave with a porch and a two-bay chancel that includes a chapel and vestry. The building is oriented north-south, following the traditional ritual orientation.

In the Gothic Revival style, the nave's south porch has angle buttresses, a two-light window, and roll-moulded gable copings with a cross. The west-facing doorway features a moulded arch and a hoodmould over foiled panels with shields, along with a statue niche to the left. The aisles have offset buttresses and are mostly adorned with three-light windows that have rounded lights and plain tracery under square heads. The clerestory windows are also three-light, featuring plain tracery and pointed-arch heads, with the north windows displaying mouchettes. The large offset buttresses flank the west window, which has four lights under a traceried head and hoodmould. The transepts are similarly lit by four-light windows with mouchettes and hoodmoulds. The south chapel has square-headed two-light windows, while the chancel windows are cusped and traceried. The vestry to the north includes a west door and cusped, square-headed two-light windows. The east window features five lights with a stepped, embattled transom and a traceried head, flanked by offset buttresses.

Inside, the arcades consist of hollow-faced octagonal piers with moulded capitals supporting cavetto-moulded arches. The taller crossing arches transition into more massive piers with blind panelling. The interior includes oak choir stalls and an organ from 1900, which was a gift from William Pilkington. The east window features Pilkington memorial stained glass from 1905. It is noted that the western two bays of the nave have been reordered, and the original design included a crossing tower that was never constructed.
