Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church located in Upper Poppleton, designed by Charles Hodgson Fowler in 1891, incorporating fragments from the 13th century. It underwent alterations by G G Pace between 1959 and 1972. The church features a two-cell layout with a small square tower at the west end. It is constructed of coursed dressed stone with ashlar dressings and has plain tile roofs. The building has a chamfered plinth and quoins.

The west front includes a single two-light chamfered and pointed arch window with ornate tracery and a moulded hood, flanked by two stone buttresses. The upper section of the gable is flush with the west wall of the square tower, which has triple lancet bell-openings on each face and a short square wooden spire topped with a plain tile roof and a metal cross finial.

On the south front, there is a projecting gabled porch to the left featuring a pointed arched outer opening and an inner doorway that incorporates a re-used round-headed Norman archway with 19th-century shafts and jambs. This is complemented by a pair of two-panel doors. To the right, there are two two-light pointed arch windows in chamfered surrounds, both with ornate tracery and hood moulds. The chancel has two flat-headed two-light windows with tracery hood moulds and a linking cill band.

The east front showcases a single three-light pointed arch window with ornate tracery, a hood mould, and a stepped cill band. The north front features chequered stone walling with a single two-light pointed arch window with tracery and a hood mould for the nave. To the left, there is a projecting vestry under a lean-to roof, which connects to a church hall added by G G Pace around 1964.

Inside, the church has a triple arched arcade at the west end that supports the square tower above. The nave features a bold wooden roof with alternating trusses, while the chancel has a broad double-chamfered chancel arch and a wooden roof with arched braces. The interior includes late 19th-century wooden pews, choir stalls, an altar rail, and an altar, all added by G G Pace around 1965. A 13th-century stone font with a simple bowl supported on an octagonal stone stem is also present.
