Description
The Church of All Saints is a church dating from the 12th century, with significant additions and alterations made in the 15th century and a major restoration in the mid-19th century (c.1856-60) by Fowler of Louth. A 20th-century boiler house of no particular architectural merit stands to the north. The church is constructed primarily of coursed and galleted pebbles, with brick and ashlar dressings, and magnesian limestone for the south aisle, all set beneath a slate roof.
The building consists of a three-stage west tower, a four-bay aisled nave with a clerestory, a south porch, and a two-bay chancel. The west tower has a chamfered plinth and diagonal buttresses with offsets. A three-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery, featuring re-cut hollow-chamfered mullions within a chamfered surround, occupies the west end. A slit window is also visible. The north side features a boiler house. The second stage of the tower has a slit window to the south, a band, and a twin-light bell opening with Perpendicular tracery within pointed double-chamfered surrounds. A low parapet tops the tower.
The south aisle has a chamfered plinth, diagonal buttresses, and a round-arched entrance to the south porch, which contains a plank door in a moulded surround. Three-light pointed windows with Perpendicular tracery, some re-cut, run throughout the aisle, with a continuous sill band. A hollow-chamfered eaves string course is present, along with battlements. The north aisle has diagonal buttresses and a blocked entrance framed by a double-ovolo-moulded surround under a hoodmould. A similar two-light window is located to the west return. The clerestory features two-trefoiled-light, straight-headed windows, also with battlements and crocketed corner pinnacles. The chancel has a blocked priest's door, a three-light pointed Perpendicular window, and a single-bay vestry to the north, with similar detailing to the south. The east end features a four-light pointed window with reticulated tracery.
Inside, the tower arch is pointed and double-chamfered, resting on octagonal responds with moulded capitals and chamfered bases. The four-bay arcade is also double-chamfered, supported by octagonal piers with moulded bases and capitals. The chancel arch is double-chamfered, springing from moulded corbels. A neoclassical monument to George Green, dated 1831 and created by Thomas Earle of Hull, is also within the chancel.
