Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a building with a long history, incorporating a 12th-century south door and a 15th-century tower, with the rest largely rebuilt between 1871 and 1872 by G. E. Street. Constructed from dressed magnesian limestone, it features red tile and Welsh slate roofs.

The west tower is in the Perpendicular style, with a moulded plinth and offset diagonal buttresses. It has a hollow-chamfered and cusped three-light west window with a hoodmould featuring head-carved stops, and two slit windows above. A large square sundial with an iron gnomon is positioned on the south side. String courses are present beneath the belfry stage, which has chamfered, pointed two-light windows with hoodmoulds, and another string course with gargoyles on the north and south sides, accompanied by small central shields beneath an embattled parapet topped with eight crocketed pinnacles.

The nave, of Gothic Revival design, includes a gabled porch on the south side with diagonal buttresses, a moulded arch with a hoodmould, and gable copings with an old apex cross. Within the porch is a renewed 12th-century south doorway, featuring renewed shafts and carved capitals to a round arch with beakheads. A headless figure is reset in the east wall of the porch, with other carved fragments opposite. A detached block with two crudely carved faces, likely from the 14th century, is also present. The nave has a hollow-chamfered plinth, diagonal west buttress, and a string course. Tall single-light windows are positioned on the left, with two trefoiled two-light windows on the right. The east gable has copings with a cross.

The north aisle mirrors the nave’s buttressing and has a string course beneath three square-headed windows, each with two cusped lights in a hollow-chamfered surround. A pointed two-light window is located at the west end. The chancel is lower, with a quadrant-moulded priest's door with a hoodmould having head-carved stops, and a two-light window with geometrical tracery and hoodmould to its left. Angle buttresses flank a three-light east window with geometrical tracery and hoodmould, incorporating a small gable slit. The east gable copings also have a cross. A lean-to north vestry features a string course beneath a two-light north window matching the aisle style and a pointed doorway, with a two-light east window and a cross in a sunken panel above.

Inside, the plain, pointed tower arch is now plastered over. A 19th-century north arcade employs round piers and moulded capitals to double-cavetto moulded arches, with a similar chancel arch. An alabaster reredos contains an arched niche on the north wall, housing a 14th-century child's cross slab inscribed 'HICJACET JOHES FILIUS JOHIS DE BELEWE'. Painted panelling decorates the chancel ceiling, and the church has 20th-century fittings.
