Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed Perpendicular church built around 1485, incorporating elements from a 13th-century church. It was restored between 1872 and 1873 by Walter Hanstock. The church features deeply coursed stone and a stone slate roof. Its structure includes a west tower, a nave, a chancel with lean-to aisles, a south porch, and a recent vestry to the north.

The exterior is notable for its corbelled out machicolated and castellated parapet, which is adorned with tall square pinnacles. The bell chamber has two-light louvred and traceried openings, while the nave is illuminated by four two-light square-headed clerestory windows. The buttressed aisles have two, three, and four-light square-headed windows, some of which include round-arched lights and stained glass, with some having been restored. The south doorway is decorated, and the east window features five lights with intricate Perpendicular tracery, flanked by three-light and four-light square-headed windows with round-arched lights.

Inside, the church has a three-bay Decorated south arcade dating from around 1330, characterized by quatrefoil piers and double chamfered arches. The north arcade, built around 1485, has octagonal piers and double chamfered arches. The chancel arch includes a narrow rood stair on the south side with an ogee head. The Mirfield Chapel, founded around 1485, retains a complete parclose screen and contains two alabaster effigies of Sir William and Lady Anne Mirfield from around 1496, set on a stone tomb chest with low relief carvings of ladies holding shields. The south Lady Chapel features a parclose screen likely from the later 16th century, decorated with shields, mermen, and dragons, which was restored in 1852 using cast iron. The church also has an eight-sided ribbed font dated 1662, and a window in the south aisle contains a crucifixion scene made from fragments of 14th-century glass.
