Description

The Church of All Saints is a church building with origins in the late 12th century, significantly altered in the late 13th century, the 15th century, and with a new porch added in 1753. It is constructed of limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The church comprises a two-stage west tower, a four-bay aisled nave, north and south transept chapels, and a three-bay chancel.

The tower has a two-light Y-traceried west window with a lancet above, a diagonal buttress to the left, and a lean-to boiler house to the extreme left. Clock faces are visible on the north, west, and south faces of the tower, above a coved band; three-light Perpendicular belfry openings are situated on each face. A coved band with gargoyles runs above, supporting an embattled parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles. Y-traceried windows of two and three lights are found in the north and south aisles, while the clerestory features three-light Perpendicular windows. The clerestory and aisle are embattled and incorporate gargoyles to the south. A porch with a round-arched doorway, inscribed with the date "Anno Domini 1753," stands on the south side, featuring a C12 capital set into the masonry above the doorway. The south transept has 3-light Y-traceried windows to the south and east, along with an angle buttress to the south. The chancel has 2-light Y-traceried windows and a pointed door in the third bay, with a replacement 3-light Y-traceried window at the east end.

Inside, the tower arch displays Norman nook-shafts with fluted capitals in very low relief. C13 arcades define the nave. Notable monuments include two Derbyshire alabaster recumbent figures of a knight and lady, set within recesses on either side of the chancel, traditionally associated with the Metham family. A plaque on the chancel floor commemorates George and Catherine Metham, daughter of Lord Fairfax, who died in 1672, their son George who died in 1716, Margaret Hartcourt his wife who died in 1697 and Philip Metham their son who died in 1732. Other memorials include one to Mary Christie Burton, who died in 1801, and another to Richard Burton, who died in 1784. A painted rubrick for confession and absolution of sins is located on the south wall of the chancel.
