Church Of All Hallows

The Church of All Hallows is a church with origins in the 12th century, with significant additions and alterations in the 14th and 15th centuries, and the north side rebuilt around 1818. A north porch was added in 1921. The church is constructed of ashlar, with substantial brick and rubble patching, with the north side predominantly brick. It has graduated slate roofs.

The church consists of a three-stage west tower, a two-bay nave with a north porch, north and south single-bay transepts, and a two-bay chancel with a north vestry. The west tower has a chamfered and moulded plinth with moulded string courses and diagonal buttresses with offsets. The north side of the tower features a pierced quatrefoil to the first floor above which is a canopied niche with crocketed finials. There is a two-light pointed belfry opening with Perpendicular tracery under a hoodmould, and a crenellated parapet with crocketed corner finials. The west window is a three-light pointed window featuring Perpendicular tracery, with a clock face above the quatrefoil on the west wall.

The nave has two three-light pointed windows with Perpendicular tracery on the north side, flanking the gabled north porch. Similar fenestration is present on the south wall, which includes a central pointed doorway of around 1200, featuring a continuous narrow chamfer, chamfered imposts, and a hoodmould. The north transept has diagonal buttresses with offsets and a three-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery under a hoodmould, topped by a raised coped gable on shaped kneelers. The south transept also has diagonal buttresses, and a five-light pointed south window with fine curvilinear tracery, accompanied by a small two-light square-headed window with Perpendicular tracery to the east wall. The chancel features buttresses with offsets, with two two-light pointed windows with Perpendicular tracery in the south wall and a five-light pointed east window with Perpendicular tracery, all topped by raised coped gables on shaped kneelers.

Internally, a pointed double-chamfered tower arch dies into responds. The north and south crossing arches have plain responds and imposts with narrow chamfers carrying pointed arches that have likely been rebuilt and rendered. A double-chamfered pointed chancel arch sits upon moulded capitals and polygonal responds. A square font with a moulded base and top, possibly dating to the 18th century, is also present. A medieval stone coffin is located at the rear of the tower chamber.
