Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Church dating from the early 14th century. It is constructed of ashlar with stone-verged slate roofs. The church comprises a west tower, a four-bay nave, and a two-bay chancel.

The three-stage west tower has a moulded plinth, three offsets, and a plain parapet with moulded coping. A small recessed octagonal spire rises from the tower, featuring a tier of lucarnes formed as quatrefoil openings, reminiscent of features found at the Church of St. Margaret, Stoke Golding, and the Church of St. Michael, Fenny Drayton. The west window of the tower is a single light with an ogee head, a hood mould, and a convex, quarter-round moulded surround. The second stage has a quatrefoil opening to the west, and trefoil-headed windows with hood moulds to the north and south. Single-light belfry openings are trefoiled. Buttresses divide the bays of the nave and chancel, with further angle buttresses at the eastern corners. The main nave and chancel side windows are generally of two cinquefoil-headed lights, with a single reticulation above. The nave windows have scrolled hood moulds with block stops, while the chancel windows feature hollow-chamfered hood moulds terminating in carved heads. One window on the south side of the nave, located in the easternmost bay, differs with three lights, more elaborate Decorated tracery, a convex, quarter-round moulded surround, and suggests the presence of a former chapel. The chancel east window has three lights and reticulated tracery. The north and south nave doorways are pointed, with the north door possessing a convex, quarter-round surround and a scroll-moulded ogee hood terminating in carved heads; the south door is similar but without a hood mould.

Inside, the tower arch is pointed, with an outer chamfered order and an inner convex, quarter-round moulding springing from moulded imposts with faceted bases, also terminating in carved heads. An equally high pointed chancel arch rises over engaged semi-octagonal columns with moulded capitals and bases. The rear arches of the windows mirror the style of their external counterparts. A pointed window is located high on the west wall. The nave and chancel have 19th-century king-post roofs. Interior features include a plain octagonal stone font, likely from the 14th century, a piscina in the south wall of the east bay of the nave (indicating a former chapel), a 19th-century octagonal pulpit on an octagonal pedestal, 14th-century sedilia with multiple cusping, and an 18th-century altar rail with turned balusters. The east window contains stained glass from 1901 by Kempe, and the chancel side window reticulations incorporate fragments of medieval glass.
