Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, with alterations and restoration work carried out in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of magnesian limestone with a stone slate roof. The church consists of a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles, and a chancel.
The three-stage west tower has a round-headed window with roll-moulded detail and jamb shafts at its first stage, and a round-headed lancet window and a clockface on the west side. The south side features small lancets to each stage, a matching clockface, and belfry windows of two recessed round-headed lights with colonettes and cushion capitals—these were renewed following a fire in 1874. The tower is topped by a corbel table, a deep embattled parapet with corner pinnacles, and two gargoyles on each outer side, culminating in a short recessed octagonal spire.
The three-bay nave has an embattled parapet above a corbel table featuring small carved gargoyles and pinnacles. The buttressed four-bay south aisle, with its fourth bay forming a chapel, has a gabled porch with a 19th-century two-centred outer doorway. This porch protects a two-centred arched south doorway with two orders of colonettes carrying stiff-leaf capitals and dog-tooth decoration in the head. The west end of the aisle has a 13th-century window of two cusped lights with a trefoil in the head, while the south side features similar 19th-century imitation windows. The east end has a restored window similar in design. The chancel showcases three tall lancet windows, a 19th-century east window of four lights with tracery, and a single lancet and a 19th-century vestry on the north side.
Inside, the 12th-century tower arch is characterised by piers with three orders of moulding and cushion capitals. The 12th-century north arcade features round-headed arches carried on unusually tall columns with square caps, while the 13th-century south arcade has double-chamfered two-centred arches springing from tall octagonal piers with moulded caps. A two-centred double-chamfered chancel arch, with composite shafts and moulded tripartite capitals, now contains a 20th-century rood. The chancel also features a two-bay north arcade, a one-bay south arcade, and trefoiled rere-arches to the lancet windows. A collection of wall monuments dedicated to the Fox Lane family of Bramham Park are present, notably one to George (died 1773).
