Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building located on Mill Lane in Bradbourne. It dates back to the 12th century and was re-fashioned in the 14th century, with a complete restoration occurring in 1846. The church is constructed from coursed squared and rubble gritstone, featuring gritstone dressings. The south aisle has a copper roof, while the south porch is covered with a stone slate roof. The nave roof is concealed by embattled parapets.
The 12th-century tower is built in three stages and topped with an embattled parapet, which is supported by carved heads above a string course. The south wall showcases an elaborate 12th-century doorcase with attached shafts, featuring two inner bands of voussoirs carved with beasts and an outer band decorated with beak head motifs. The west wall of the tower has a round-headed door with a keystone, and there is a projecting original staircase in the northeast corner. The third stage of the tower includes twin bell openings under zigzag arches on all sides. A 19th-century vestry is attached to the north wall of the chancel. The east window, dating from the 14th century, features flowing tracery, while the windows on the south wall are flat-headed, two-light mullion windows with cusping, including three in the clerestory. The aisle windows have re-used 14th-century carved stops. The south porch has a round-headed arch with a drip mould and a six-panelled 18th-century raised and fielded door.
Inside, there is a 12th-century tower arch leading to the nave, which is separated by a 19th-century wooden screen. The early 14th-century south arcade consists of three chamfered arches supported by keeled quatrefoil piers. The chancel arch, also from the 14th century, features castellated responds. The interior has been much restored and has a flat timbered roof. The east window contains gaudy early 19th-century stained glass, while the northeast chancel window features re-used 14th-century glass.
Memorials on the walls include a series of white marble on slate memorials dedicated to the Buckstone family, dating from 1793 to 1926, as well as a limestone wall memorial from 1643 with an incised coat of arms. There is a late 16th-century mural on the south wall of the south aisle, painted in greys and reds, with an architectural surround and inscription. The church also features an early font decorated with relief pillars.
