Description
The Church of All Saints is a church constructed between 1877 and 1878. A tower was completed in 1903, and a Jubilee chapel added in 1928. It was designed by Austin and Paley. The church is built of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and bands, and has a slate roof.
The church consists of a nave with aisles under lean-to roofs, a chancel with a south chapel, and a north-east tower. The tower has low diagonal buttresses, an octagonal bell stage with square pinnacles in the angles, louvred bell openings, an embattled parapet, and a pyramidal roof. A round stair turret has a projecting octagonal top stage with a cornice and a pyramidal roof. The aisles have single lights, with gabled entrances at each end of the north aisle. The clerestory has alternate paired and triple lancet windows. The west end features four stepped lancets and a leaf-shaped window in the gable, flanked by weathered buttresses. The chancel has an east window of three lights with plate tracery, and a south window of two lights; the foundation stone is dated 1877. The south chapel has a shallow, canted apse with a parapet and gable, along with a south window of two lights. A gabled vestry to the north of the chancel has a two-light window with plate tracery and sash windows.
Inside, the church has five-bay arcades with octagonal piers, and a King post roof. Timber screens separate the chancel and chapel. A timber pulpit stands on a stone corbel. A north organ loft is present, and a two-bay arcade on quatrefoil piers leads to the chapel, with a parclose screen. The font has a gadrooned bowl on a fluted Tuscan column, with an inscription reading "HENRY MOORE CHAPEL WARDEN 1723 & 4”. A wall memorial to Dulcibella Brownbill (died 1813) is decorated with a figure, and is the work of S. and T. Franceys. There is a significant amount of stained glass, with a window from a former chapel, likely dating from the mid-18th century, in the west leaf window.
