Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a historic church with origins dating back to the 12th century, featuring datestones from 1686 and 1691, and a west tower added in 1901. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has slate roofs. The church includes a 3-bay chancel and a 4-bay nave, which has a north door and a north aisle with an east chapel. A 20th-century south porch leads to the entrance.

The west tower is divided into three stages and has a chamfered plinth. It features two flat-headed belfry openings with a clock situated between them, all beneath a battlemented parapet. The nave has a chamfered plinth, a lancet window to the left, and a pointed window with Perpendicular tracery to the left of the south porch. To the right of the south porch is another pointed window with Reticulated tracery. The south door, dating from around 1150, has spiral nook-shafts and capitals adorned with saltire crosses, supporting quirk-and-chamfer imposts and a round arch decorated with chevron ornamentation. This door encloses a tympanum featuring a carving of the Paschal lamb beneath chevrons. The roof has a low pitch concealed by a coped parapet, and the gable is topped with a cross finial. The north door is set in a double-chamfered pointed opening, with a datestone above it reading 'ROBERT ROPPER JOHN STEVENSON 1686'. To the right is a flat-headed 2-light window with a datestone above it stating 'D. D. THO. EBOR. 1691'.

The lower chancel has a 3-light flat-headed south window with 19th-century curvilinear tracery and a pointed 3-light east window with Reticulated tracery under a hood-mould. The verges are plain and close.

Inside, the nave features a 20th-century roof that incorporates re-set 15th-century bosses. The north nave arcade consists of octagonal piers on raised moulded bases, with moulded capitals that support pointed double-chamfered arches. There is a double-chamfered pointed strainer arch on pentagonal corbels, with the northern corbel carved to depict a human figure. The east chapel has a long squint to the chancel, a trefoil-headed piscina, and re-set 12th-century grotesques. The chancel arch, dating from around 1150, consists of three orders enriched with deep roll mouldings, supported on responds with raised bases featuring saltire crosses on the capitals of the outer order and scallop capitals on the inner order. A 12th-century tub font with lozenge decoration is present, along with a recumbent effigy of a priest in sacramental robes holding a chalice in the north aisle. The porch contains re-set carved fragments.
