Description
The Church of All Saints is a building of group value, dating in part to the 15th century with significant additions and reconstruction in the 19th century. The west tower was built in the 15th century. The chancel was constructed between 1845 and 1846 by Chantrell, and the nave was rebuilt in 1853. The church is constructed of ashlar with flat tile roofs. It comprises a two-stage west tower, a five-bay nave with a south porch and a north aisle, and a three-bay chancel with a north vestry.
The west tower has a moulded plinth, diagonal buttresses with offsets, and a small trefoil-headed light to the lower stage. A two-light pointed belfry opening with cinquefoil heads is set under a hoodmould with face stops and an angel at the apex. The tower is topped with crenellations. The west window is a three-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery under a hoodmould with grotesque stops, and above it is the figure of a praying priest. The nave has a chamfered plinth, buttresses with offsets, trefoil-headed lancets, a chamfered corbel table, and a raised coped gable with a Celtic cross finial. The projecting south porch has a pointed door under a hoodmould with foliated stops, and a double-chamfered pointed south door leads to the nave. The chancel has a high chamfered plinth, buttresses with offsets, three pointed windows with cusped Y-tracery, a pointed priests' door with a continuous chamfer, and an inscription reading 'A DAY IN THY COURTS IS BETTER THAN A THOUSAND' carved on the chamfer above the doorhead. The east window is a three-light pointed window with curvilinear tracery under a hoodmould, and a coped gable with a flory cross finial.
Inside, the tower arch is pointed and double-chamfered, dying into responds, and shows traces of red ochre paint. Three equidistant praying angels are positioned above the arch; the central angel appears to be supporting a rood. Flanking the tower buttresses are corbelled out over moulded bases embellished with foliage. The north arcade consists of five bays with cylindrical piers on waterholding bases, round abaci, and pointed double-chamfered arches. A 12th-century tub font with blank arcading has been trimmed at the base. A wall tablet is set into the north wall of the north aisle, commemorating Thomas Delgarno, Vicar, who died in 1717, and his daughters Mary and Elizabeth. The tablet is of plain marble, with good lettering in an eared and shouldered architrave under a shallow open pediment. A cherub on a small corbel sits beneath. The chancel contains a 15th-century tomb recess in the north wall, now providing access to the north vestry. A fragment of an alabaster chest tomb is present, featuring an angel carrying a shield beneath a crocketed ogee. Two medieval effigies of women are located in the north-east and south-east corners of the chancel; the northern effigy holds her heart in her hands.
