Church Of All Hallows

The Church of All Hallows is a building of group value, dating back to around 1200, originally comprising a nave, chancel, and south aisle. A Perpendicular west tower was added later, with the upper portion likely rebuilt in the 19th century. The north aisle was substantially rebuilt in 1825, and the clerestory and south porch were probably constructed around the same period. The east window is likely from the mid-19th century, potentially representing a restoration effort. The church is built of deeply coursed stone on the tower and in 19th-century sections, with coursed rubble used for the south aisle and chancel. It has a stone slate roof with gable copings on cut kneelers.

The tower features a fine early English doorway, seemingly reset, with a heavily moulded arch and colonnettes to each side, accompanied by a large dog tooth band. Above this doorway is a large three-light window with Perpendicular tracery. The bell chamber has four-light mullioned and transomed openings with traceried heads, and a crenellated parapet. Six two-light clerestory windows are present on the north and south sides. The south aisle has six lancet windows, with three on the south wall of the chancel, and two paired lancets. The north aisle features two-light windows with tracery, and the east window comprises three large lancets.

Inside, a six-bay arcade spans the north and south sides, supported by octagonal piers, with the exception of the round piers at the west end of the north side. Some capitals display stylized leaves, while others are plain. A carved oak screen commemorating the First World War is located near the tower. A large chancel arch rises from slender, semi-circular responds. The chancel features a panelled oak ceiling with bosses dating back to the 15th century, and an arched braced chancel roof. Reconstructed fragments of a Saxon cross are displayed at the east end of the nave, depicting Christ crucified with interlace detailing at the base. Three late 18th-century wall memorials commemorating members of the Horsefall family of Storthes Hall are located in the chancel, set against a grey marble ground. A piscina is situated in the south wall, and a small, square, chamfered hole in the north wall is believed to be either an opening to a priest's room, a squint, or a leper's window. A low, shouldered arched priest’s doorway is positioned to the left of this hole. A passage behind the reredos contains two reset doorways, possibly dating from the 13th century. An eight-sided tulip font with an elaborate cover, designed by Sir Charles Nicholson around 1930, is also present. Benches dating back before the Reformation are rectangular with simple mouldings, while other benches are Elizabethan, with some carving and mouldings; one is inscribed: "JOHN WALKER - XX - OF - APRIL - ANNO - DNI - 1584."
