Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church dating from 1866, designed by H. F. Bacon. It is constructed from hammer-dressed sandstone with a graduated slate roof. The church comprises a nave with north and south aisles, a south porch, a crossing tower, north and south transepts, and a chancel, all executed in the Early English style.

The five-bay nave and aisles are characterised by coupled lancet windows to the south aisle, with quatrefoils above. The buttressed north aisle has a weathered plinth and two-centred arched windows of two cusped lights with Perpendicular tracery, with hoodmoulds including figured stops. A two-centred arched doorway, with a moulded surround and square hoodmould with quatrefoils in the spandrels, is in the westernmost bay of the north aisle. The nave has a clerestory of coupled cusped lancets, and a four-light west window with bar tracery and a multifoil head. The buttressed transepts have plate-traceried three-light windows.

The two-stage crossing tower features corner pilasters, two weathered bands, small lancets, a clockface with a hoodmould, recessed louvred belfry windows with set-in shafts, a band of ball flower ornament below the parapet, and an oversailing parapet pierced with quatrefoils. An octagonal stair turret, finished as a pinnacle, is located at the south east corner. The two-bay chancel contains a cusped lancet in each bay, and a three-light east window with bar tracery and a multifoil.

Inside, the five-bay arcades feature quatrefoil columns with foliated capitals (all different), carrying two-centred arches with two orders of moulding. The clerestory windows have internal colonnettes with square cushion capitals, also hammer-dressed. The church is fitted with an arch-braced king-post roof, supported by fluted triangular corbels. The south aisle roof incorporates reused timbers from a former church. The tower crossing has double-chamfered arches rising from short colonnettes with stiff-leaf capitals. In the north aisle, a portion of a wooden screen dating from the 15th century, with Perpendicular tracery, is displayed in its original location.
