Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a late 14th-century church, with earlier elements, and was restored in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone and ashlar, with a low-pitched lead roof and stone-coped gables. The church comprises a nave and a lower chancel, which are combined as a single space.

The south elevation has four bays, divided by buttresses with two set-offs. The west bay contains a single chamfered doorway with a hoodmould, and a 19th-century four-panelled door. The three bays to the east have two-light windows with two cusped lancets and a quatrefoil above, all with hoodmoulds featuring headstops, and all extensively restored in the 19th century. A low, blocked priests' doorway with a depressed round arch and hoodmould is located in the third bay from the west. A buttress to the right of this doorway was heightened in the 19th century, blocking a two-light clerestory window, and is capped by a polygonal chimney. A 17th-century clerestory has two plain two-light chamfered mullion windows. The east window, dating back to approximately 1300, has intersecting tracery of three lights, with a hoodmould featuring headstops, and much renewed 19th-century tracery.

The north elevation, from east to west, includes an angle buttress, a two-light window similar to those on the south side, a buttress, another similar window to the nave, a blocked square window with a chamfered surround above a stump of a buttress, another two-light window, and a half-blocked depressed round doorway matching that on the south side. A clerestory window sits above this doorway, as on the south side. The west window is a 1901 replacement, matching the east window but taller. A bell is fixed to the west wall.

The church has undergone several restorations, notably in 1836, 1843, when the chancel was re-roofed in 1856, repairs to the nave roof in 1894, and a more comprehensive restoration in 1901, undertaken by Hunter & Woodhouse of Belper.

The interior features 19th-century pews with ogee traceried ends, brought from St Alkmunds, Derby in 1967, along with a matching pulpit. Two large head corbels from the early 14th century are located either side of the east window. Wall monuments include one to Emma Harriet Scambella (1821) by Watson Feet, and one to William Tyson (died 1843) and Lucia, his wife (died 1848), by M W Johnson of London. A memorial to Thomas Archer (died 1853) and a memorial to his widow, Mary, (died 1865) are also on the south wall, by Patterson of Manchester. A brass wall plate commemorates William Tomkinson (died 1901) and his wife, Mary (died 1900), by Jones & Willis Ltd, and an 18th-century painted hatchment is also present. There is one stained glass window, located in the chancel south wall and dating to 1901. The font is a circular bowl with a trefoil motif and fleur de lys between, on a base of clustered filleted shafts.
