Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a building of the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, with a restoration in 1876 by J. L. Pearson. It is constructed of rubble and ashlar limestone with red tile roofs. The church comprises a west tower, a two-bay nave, a two-bay chancel with a north aisle, and a south porch.

The west tower has a rubble lower stage with diagonal ashlar buttresses, and a reused C19 west window of three lights with reticulated tracery. Above are two C14 ashlar stages, featuring south and north clock faces, two-light belfry openings with louvred, cusped Y-tracery, a string course with gargoyles, and an embattled, pinnacled parapet. The nave's south wall has a rebuilt porch with a pointed arch and gable copings with a cross. The doorway within has an ancient oak door with some medieval ironwork, containing a round arch with five incised voussoirs and a simple hood. Fragments of medieval grave slabs are incorporated into the porch walls. To the right are two C19 three-light windows with intersecting tracery and hoodmoulds. The north wall, rebuilt in the 19th century, features buttresses flanking square-headed windows of three ogee-headed lights, also with hoodmoulds. The chancel is lower and narrower. A C19 priest's door is positioned to the right of quoins leading to the original, short chancel, pierced by a Y-tracery two-light window. A substantial buttress, dated 1677, features two lancet windows within its ashlar walling. The east window is a C19 design of three lancets with a shared hoodmould. Gable copings and crosses are present on both the nave and chancel.

Inside, the round tower arch was likely rebuilt in the 14th century. A north arcade, dating to the 13th century, features two bays with a cylindrical pier and a crocketed, octagonal capital, keeled imposts, and chamfered, pointed arches. The chancel arch, from the 12th century, has shafts and a roll-moulded voussoir on the west side, ornate carved imposts with a cable mould beneath lozenges. A chamfered round arch into the north chapel is probably from the 15th century; a C19 arch on the left houses an organ. There are two sedilia, with distorted round arches, and medieval grave slabs set within the back wall. The C19 east window incorporates shafts and dog-tooth ornament. C19 roofs are now in place. Beneath the tower are a cylindrical Norman font (brought from elsewhere), late medieval oak panels, three benefaction boards, and two medieval grave slabs set against the west wall. An early 18th-century pulpit features marquetry panels. A wall monument in the north chapel commemorates John Stanhope (d.1674), and includes a cartouche, draped sarcophagus, and a skull bearing arms.
