Description
The Church of All Saints is a medieval parish church, primarily featuring Perpendicular architecture on the outside, with some 12th-century work visible inside. The west tower, which may date from the 14th century, is constructed of ashlar and consists of three stages with buttresses. It has foiled lights in the bell chamber framed by a heavy hoodmould over corbel heads, a small parapet adorned with gargoyles, and an incised stone dated 1615. The small west door has a window above it. The nave, clerestory, and chancel are made of coursed squared rubble, with square-headed windows that were restored in the 19th century to reflect Perpendicular features; however, a single earlier lancet window remains in the chancel. The clerestory has a slight parapet. The 14th-century south porch includes the 12th-century south door, which features slender shafts with foliate capitals supporting long abaci. The outer arch displays a cross pattern, and there are two roll-moulded inner arches without a tympanum. The north aisle appears to have been built differently from the rest of the church and is almost entirely ashlar, with a blocked door. A Victorian vestry is located to the north of the chancel.
Inside, the nave consists of three bays, with the south arcade being the earliest, likely from the early 13th century. It features round piers on high bases with larger round abaci and a double chamfered round-arched arcade. The north arcade may date from the late 14th century and has octagonal piers and abaci. The clerestory and aisle windows are in the Perpendicular style, with the easternmost window of the north aisle set in a taller embrasure that includes stone seating. The nave roof has cambered trusses, and traces of painting can be seen in the south aisle. The chancel arch has 12th-century shafts with wall capitals, while the arch itself is somewhat later. The chancel windows are in the Perpendicular style and contain early 20th-century stained glass.
The font, which dates from the 12th or 13th century, is square and features shafts at the corners with slightly decorated capitals.
