Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building, primarily dating from the 13th century, though it has earlier origins. It was "repaired" in 1844 and is constructed of coursed rubble. The nave and south aisle have lead roofs, while the north aisle and chancel are covered with steeply pitched Collyweston stone slate roofs. The church features a two-bay nave with aisles and a 15th-century clerestory, a chancel, and a gabled south porch dated 1837 on its buttress. There is an early 13th-century round-headed north doorway and a twin west bellcote. The exterior includes lancet windows with a moulded stringcourse beneath.
Inside, the church has a two-bay round-arched nave arcade supported by cylindrical piers. The north side dates from before 1200 and features waterleaf capitals, square abaci, and roll-mouldings on the arches. The south side is early 13th century, with circular abaci and double chamfered arches. The nave roof from the 15th century includes carved angel figures and bosses. There is a late 13th-century tomb recess in the south aisle, which contains two coffin lids carved with foliated crosses, and the south aisle also has a piscina. A Norman tympanum carved with the Tree of Life is displayed in the north aisle.
Additionally, there is a 13th-century wall painting of Ecclesia and Synagogua in the jambs of the west lancet, along with some fragmentary remains of painting in the south aisle. The chancel is barrel-vaulted and features a fine arched piscina flanked by tiny shafts, topped with a crocketted gable and supported by head-stops. The spandrel includes foliage carving, and there is a drain in the floor shaped like a four-petalled flower, believed to be from the destroyed church at Pickworth. A brass commemorates Thomas Burton of Tolethorpe, who died in 1381.
