Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church of late 12th-century origin, with a chancel dating to around 1300, a 13th-century arcade, a north aisle of the mid-14th century, and a south aisle of the 15th century. A tower and clerestory were added in the 15th century, funded by the will of Nicholas de Bubwith, Bishop of Bath and Wells (1408-1424), and possibly designed by Robert Cooper (fl 1442-59). The east window is from around 1485. The church is constructed largely of limestone ashlar, with a Westmorland slate roof.
The church consists of a west tower, a four-bay aisled nave with a clerestory, and a three-bay chancel. The two-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses. A tall three-light west window illuminates the tower. Above the belfry is a traceried two-light pointed opening with a hoodmould, resting on a string course on each face. The tower is topped by an embattled parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles. On the south side of the nave is a pointed doorway in the second bay, and three square-headed Perpendicular windows. Diagonal buttresses are set to either end, with a stepped buttress between bays three and four. A three-light pointed Perpendicular window is located at the east end. A plain parapet features moulded coping. The clerestory contains three-light cinque-cusped square-headed windows, and has an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. On the north side of the nave, a pointed doorway mirrors the one to the south. Three-light square-headed windows are flanked by stepped buttresses; the outer bays feature Perpendicular tracery, and the inner bays have Decorated tracery. A square-headed three-light reticulated window is at the east end. The clerestory mirrors the south side. The south side of the chancel features a pointed priest's door with a tall lancet to its left, and a pair of two-light pointed windows with quatrefoil tracery, separated by a stepped buttress. The north side of the chancel has a two-light pointed window with quatrefoil tracery, with a stepped buttress to its left. The east end has a five-light Perpendicular window flanked by stepped buttresses.
The interior features a round-headed Norman chancel arch of three moulded orders, with scalloped moulding to the outer order, set on responds with scalloped capitals. The east wall of the nave is set back, revealing a line of Norman gable end with two blocked rectangular windows visible on either side. Above the chancel arch, on the east side, is a small winged figure in relief within an elongated quatrefoil, likely dating to around 1200. The north aisle contains a Norman flat buttress and a section of corbel table to the east end. The arcade consists of three eastern bays of around 1300, featuring round piers and filleted responds carrying double-chamfered arches. The western bay is carried on Perpendicular octagonal piers. A tall Perpendicular tower arch, and a 15th-century octagonal font inscribed "Fons de Bubvid" are also present.
