Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church that dates back to the 12th century or earlier, with an early 13th century north aisle, a 13th century chancel, and a 15th century west tower that was rebuilt above ground level in the 17th century. The entire church was largely rebuilt around 1871. It features ashlar construction with slate roofs. The west tower is two-stage, and the church has a four-bay nave (originally five bays) with a north aisle and north porch, as well as a two-bay chancel.

The west tower has a chamfered plinth and a protruding stair turret under a pentice roof at the northeast corner. It includes round-headed belfry openings with louvres and a band beneath a crenellated parapet. The nave has a chamfered plinth and buttresses with offsets, paired lancets with an attached central shaft, and a north door from the 12th century with two orders on nook-shafts featuring scalloped capitals. The inner order has a beakhead design, while the outer order features a stylised beakhead with a single beast head at the crown of the arch.

The chancel has a chamfered plinth, a paired lancet with a central attached shaft to the east, and a pointed priests' door to the west. There is a large, blocked, pointed opening to the extreme west and a three-light pointed east window with 19th century tracery under a hoodmould with foliated stops, topped by a coped gable.

Inside, the north arcade consists of four pointed double-chamfered arches (with the remains of a fifth arch dying into the west wall of the nave) supported by cylindrical piers with octagonal abaci. The second pier from the west features a capital adorned with stylised leaf ornament. In the chancel, there are two memorial tablets on the north wall dedicated to the Grimston family of Grimston Garth in Holderness. The first tablet, created by Fisher of York, commemorates John Grimston (died 1780) and his wife Jane (died 1758), featuring paterae beneath an enriched cornice and a sarcophagus decorated with rams' heads. The second tablet, by Cheere, honors Thomas Grimston (died 1752) and is an eared and shouldered design under a round pediment flanked by putti and a coat of arms. The church also contains a mid-17th century pulpit with decorated panels beneath a cornice enriched with projecting diamonds, a small organ from 1836 in a Gothick case, and an early 13th century font with cable ornamentation on the shallow bowl.
