Description

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, with later enlargements in the 19th century. It is constructed of granite and slate rubble stone, topped with a Swithland slate roof. The church features a west tower with a recessed stone spire, a nave, a 19th-century north transept, and a south porch and chancel also from the 19th century.

The tower has a plinth, four bell openings, battlements, a slate sundial dated 1706, and a restored spire. The west window is from the 14th or 15th century. Inside the nave, there is a 19th-century three-bay north arcade with moulded arches supported by octagonal piers, one of which has a wider arch leading to the transept. To the right of this arch is a carved head label stop from the 15th century. The nave has a plain plastered roof with two visible tie beams.

The north aisle contains two small Perpendicular-style windows, and the transept has a restored three-light Perpendicular window with carved head label stops on the inside. There is a stone stack at the northeast outside corner, and a vestry built in 1915 is located to the north of the chancel.

On the south wall, there are two 15th-century two-light windows, one situated above the south door, and a five-light Perpendicular window with a transom, featuring renewed tracery in the upper lights. There are also two Perpendicular two-light windows on either side of the chancel arch, with stained glass dating from around 1920 in the south window. The chancel, built in the 19th century, has an open common rafter roof with collar beams and struts. The east window features reticulated tracery with stained glass from 1915.

Additional interior features include a pulpit from 1893, a 19th-century font, a mason's slate ledger stone mounted on the west wall, and a wall monument dating from around 1777. Hanging from the eastern tie beam is a late 18th-century three-arch screen adorned with royal and earl's arms in the gable and earl's coronets as pendant finials.
