Description
The Church of All Saints is a church built in 1867 by Kirk and Sons for J. Hirst. It is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with a tile ridge. The church includes a nave, a south-west tower, a north-west porch, transepts, a chancel, a north organ loft, and a south vestry. The four-bay nave has a Lombard frieze and two-light windows with Geometrical tracery set between gabled buttresses. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and has a two-order entrance, two-light windows with shafts, a five-faced clock, a top cornice, and a broach spire with pinnacles and gabled lucarnes of two lights, along with two additional tiers of lucarnes. The west end of the nave features a five-light window. The north gabled porch has a lancet window with a trefoil above and a return entrance. The transepts are adorned with three-light windows and spherical triangle windows above them. The chancel includes a three-light east window and two-light windows on the north and south sides. The vestry has an east entrance under a gable and a south cusped lancet window. The organ loft features a window with three cusped lights.
Inside, the church has an arch-braced roof and a chancel arch flanked by segmental-pointed arches on round columns. The chancel boasts a scissor-truss roof and a corbelled transverse arch leading to the sanctuary. The reredos displays a relief of the Last Supper, flanked by quatrefoils with relief carvings. There are 20th-century stalls and a pulpit, along with a wall memorial to J. Hirst, the founder, who died in 1874, located in the south transept with a cusped gabled panel. The church contains some 19th-century stained glass, although most of it is from the 20th century.
