Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building, primarily dating from the 14th century, with restoration and enlargement carried out in 1862 by G. G. Scott. Constructed of ashlar, the church features a nave and aisles, including a secondary south aisle added in 1862 between the south transept and porch. It has transepts, a chancel, and a four-stage 15th-century west tower. The nave consists of four bays adorned with pinnacles and battlements, and the aisle windows are three-light with decorated tracery. The clerestory windows, also three-light and from the 15th century, are found two in each bay. The chancel has perpendicular windows on the north and south sides, while the east window is a decorated five-light.

The tower includes a west doorway with shields and leaves carved in the spandrels, a five-light perpendicular west window, and a three-light blind window above. The bell stage features two tall two-light windows with transoms and quatrefoil heads, flanked by blank panels with identical tracery. The pinnacles and battlements were restored in 1950. Inside, there is a very lofty tower arch and quatrefoil arcade piers, with 19th-century roofs. The chancel contains sedilia and a piscina, while the south chapel has a piscina and an aumbry. A 19th-century wrought iron altar table is located in the south aisle. Notable interior features include a fine monument to Joanna Walters, who died in 1673, depicting angels holding a curtain beside an inscription tablet and the shrouded bodies of a woman and two babies beneath. There are also some 15th-century brasses and a fine collection of carved Swithland slate headstones in the churchyard.
