Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed church located on Church Street in Kilham. The building dates back to the 12th century, with the nave originating from this period, an early 14th century chancel, a 15th century west tower, and a 17th century south porch. It is constructed from ashlar stone, with brick used for the south porch, and features slate roofs.
The west tower consists of three stages, characterized by a hollow chamfered plinth and diagonal buttresses. It has pointed belfry openings with two lights and cusped Y-tracery, all under stopped hood-moulds, and is topped with a crenellated parapet. The west door is pointed and has a hood-mould, while the west window features three lights with Perpendicular tracery, also under a stopped hood-mould. Above the window is a heraldic shield set beneath a crocketed ogee canopy.
The nave has a chamfered plinth and string-course, with pilaster buttresses. It contains two pointed windows from around 1800, which have sashes with intersecting glazing bars. The south doorway is notable for its six round chevroned orders, supported by nook shafts with scalloped and carved capitals, and is topped with a hood-mould. The chevrons and chamfered string above feature saltire crosses, and the gablet is adorned with diaper-work and motifs of circles and compass-roses. The double-leaf door has six raised and fielded panels beneath a timber tympanum, which also has raised and fielded panels. A corbel table with grotesques is present as well. The south porch includes benches.
The chancel features a chamfered plinth and buttresses with offsets. It has three pointed windows with intersecting tracery under hood-moulds, each with human head stops. The central pointed priest's door is also under a stopped hood-mould. A dwarf buttress is located at the east gable, supporting a pointed window with intersecting tracery and a stopped hood-mould.
Inside, there is a memorial tablet at the west end of the nave dedicated to Thomas Pinchett, who served as vicar for 51 years, and his wife, dated 1739. The chancel's south wall features three trefoil-headed sedilia along with a piscina of similar design. Additionally, there is a 12th century tub font with incised arcading.
