Description

The Church of Resurrection and All Saints is a church originally built as a school in 1868 by the architect G.E. Street. It underwent extensive alterations between 1906 and 1907, during which a north aisle, chancel, and northeast tower were added by Douglas and Minshull. The church is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with a tile crest.

The building includes a nave with a north aisle and baptistry, a chancel with a north vestry, and a saddle-back tower. The nave has a gabled south porch and a straight-headed window with three cusped lights. A buttress marks the division between the nave and choir, which features paired two-light windows and an end gabled buttress. The west end of the nave has paired two-light traceried windows with straight heads. The north aisle contains two single-chamfered-mullioned windows of four lights, while the west gable end has a straight-headed three-light window with trefoil heads above the canted baptistry, which has single lights. The chancel features a south straight-headed window with five lights and an east window with three stepped lights, splayed reveals, and shafts. A panel over the chancel is dated 1907. The tower projects to the east, and its entrance has a lintel dated 1882 from a chapel at the Manor House. There is also an east gabled stair turret, and the gable ends have Y-tracery louvred bell openings with smaller lights to the north and south. A northwest stack is also present.

Inside, the nave has an arch-braced collar roof, and the north side features an inscribed beam on chamfered stone piers. The sanctuary arch has continuous mouldings. The fittings in the choir and sanctuary, designed by C.E. Kempe in 1882, were taken from the Manor House chapel. A screen to the west and north has posts supporting an entablature, with the two central posts featuring angels and a rood above. The choir stalls and altar rail are adorned with panels of marquetry and turned balusters, and the reredos is similar, depicting the crucifixion. The church also has a tapering octagonal font with ribs and an inscription, as well as a painted baptistry ceiling. There is notable stained glass, some created by C.E. Kempe and one by A.J. Davis of the Bromsgrove Guild. The vestry includes a fireplace with a coat of arms dated 1868.
