Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church dating from the 13th century, with significant alterations in the 15th and 1875-80, undertaken by Bodley and Garner. It is constructed primarily of ashlar, with the north chapel being of coursed squared rubble. The roofs are covered in stone slate. The church comprises a west tower, a three-bay nave, a three-bay north aisle with a porch set into the angle with the tower, a four-bay south aisle with a porch, a two-bay chancel, and a south chapel, along with a shorter north chapel.

The 15th-century Perpendicular tower has diagonal buttresses and a restored west door. The restored west window is of three lights with a two-over-two-light design above. The bell chamber features two-over-two-light openings. A restored crenellated parapet with gargoyles and tall corner pinnacles tops the tower. The south aisle has three-light Perpendicular-style windows. The south chancel has two two-light windows in the Decorated style and a narrow arched doorway. The east window is a five-light design with a large wheel in the head. The north aisle windows include two two-light windows with square heads and round-arched lights, and a single three-light window. The north chapel features two small lancets and a small arched doorway. An 11th-century cross head with a raised central figure is built into the east wall of the north chapel; above it is a three-light window with Y-tracery.

Inside, there are three-bay north and south arcades on round piers. The east end is raised, and the north chapel is separated from the chancel by a two-bay 13th-century arcade. A lancet in the north chapel contains glass dated 1867, attributed to William Morris’s firm. The west window contains Pre-Raphaelite glass designed by Roddam Spencer Stanhope, depicting three figures representing Faith, Hope, and Charity. The north chapel contains monuments to the Spencer family of Cannon Hall. A memorial on the west wall dates from 1737, and includes cherub supporters. A large memorial on the north wall features child supporters, a serpent emerging from a skull, and a plaque inscribed "The sting of life is sin." Over the south door of the south chapel is a memorial to Richard Green (died 1707) and other members of the Green family, of Banks Hall, dating from 1723 and 1733. Two fonts are present: one, dating from the mid-11th century, is square with cable moulding and sunken panels with crosses, vine scrolls, and two beasts. The other font is 15th century, octagonal, tapers downwards to a pyramidal base, and has raised figures on the outer faces.
