All Saints Church

All Saints Church is a parish church built in 1713 for William Coke of Trusley Hall, with the chancel altered and a vestry added around 1900. The church stands on the south side of Main Street in the Parish of Trusley.

The building is constructed of red brick with vitrified headers and stone dressings, featuring rusticated stone quoins. It has a plain stone plinth with chamfered copings and a moulded stone stringcourse at eaves level. The flush parapets are topped with moulded stone copings. The nave roof is leaded and hidden by the parapets, pitched steeply, while the chancel roof is of plain tile with a stone-coped east gable.

A small square western bellcote with rusticated quoins sits above the nave. The bellcote has small raised semi-circular headed louvred bell openings on all sides and is topped with a moulded stringcourse and copings to its parapets. An original lead gutter with a hopper head dated 1713 and decorated with the Coke coat of arms runs along the eaves.

The plan consists of a two-bay nave with a lower chancel and a north vestry. The west elevation features a central semi-circular headed window with a staff-moulded inner edge, raised fillet to the outer edge, raised impost blocks, and a keystone with moulded top. The north elevation has a similar large semi-circular headed central window. The north vestry, constructed in the same style as the rest of the church with rusticated stone quoins, has a semi-circular headed north window and east door, both with detailing matching the north window. The vestry also has a plain west door.

The east window and two south nave windows follow the same design and size as the north window. The south chancel window is similar in design but smaller, flanked on either side by attached stone plaques honouring the Walker family, dated 1792, 1815, and 1840. West of the two nave windows stands another original lead gutter, held by brackets with embossed plaques depicting suns and swans—the crests of the Coke and Balliden families. This gutter has an elaborately decorated hopper head dated 1713.

The most impressive feature is the original doorcase on the south elevation, immediately west of the second nave window. It retains its original raised and fielded panelled door. The doorcase has a large open swan-necked pediment with a central achievement over a triglyphed frieze decorated with bucranium and circles. Plain pilasters flank the door, their capitals carved with harebells and wild strawberry flowers. The doorcase itself is semi-circular headed, matching the windows in design, with raised imposts and keystone.

The interior preserves exceptional original fittings. Low segmental arches open into the chancel and span the full width of the nave at its west end. Two projecting walls behind the western arch support the bellcote above. The west end of the nave contains a 20th-century organ to the north. Below the bellcote stands the original 18th-century alabaster font with a polygonal stem on scrolled feet, supporting a circular bowl decorated with oak leaf carving. The font retains its original oak cover. Adjacent to the south door is an engraved glass screen installed around 1970 by the Coke family.

The nave roof features shields of the Coke family on the central bosses of the tie beams. At the east end of the nave stands a superb triple-decker pulpit with a large octagonal tester. All original raised and fielded panelled oak box pews survive in the nave. The chancel retains its original turned and carved baluster altar rails.

The chancel south wall displays various re-set slab stones commemorating the Coke family, including one for Franciscus Coke and family dated around 1639, another with an incised figure of a lady with ruff for Briget Curzon of around 1638, and one for Guilicum Coke dated around 1699. Two early 19th-century slate and marble wall memorials stand on the north side of the chancel.

The nave contains nine hatchments, seven of the Coke family dated 1713 to 1841, one of Edward Gilmot dated 1748, and one showing the royal coat of arms inscribed AR. Three 18th-century slate and marble wall memorials are also present, including one to Samuel Davison of around 1770 and two to the Coke family.

The two south nave windows contain 20th-century stained glass, while the east window features 19th-century stained glass. The church also preserves fragments of the original altar cloth and a maidens' garland.
