Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating from around 1300, with 15th-century elements and a tower that was partly rebuilt around 1700, along with some minor alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed of squared greenstone rubble and red brick, topped with slate roofs. The church features a western tower, nave, chancel, south porch, and vestry.
The three-stage tower includes moulded string courses, a plain parapet, and angle pinnacles. The belfry stage has two 15th-century windows with quatrefoils, while the ground stage west wall boasts a three-light panel tracery window from the same period. The north nave wall is adorned with two-light and three-light Y-traceried windows, a pointed doorway, all with chamfered surrounds, and four stepped buttresses. The east window of the chancel is a tripartite lancet from the 19th century.
On the south wall of the nave, there are two three-light windows and a single two-light window featuring intersecting tracery. The 19th-century brick gabled south porch has a plain outer doorway with a segmental head, and the scar of a more steeply pitched earlier porch is visible. The inner doorway is single chamfered and pointed, with a 19th-century hood. An octagonal stoup is located in the corner of the porch.
Inside, there is a tall pointed tower arch leading to a 15th-century single chamfered arch with octagonal imposts and responds. The chancel arch is double chamfered and dies to the reveals. At the east end of the nave, there are lower and upper doorways that lead to the now-vanished rood loft, as well as a niche with a trefoil head.
The fittings include early 18th-century altar rails with slender turned balusters, a moulded rail, and a turned newel. The pulpit is from the 19th century. The octagonal 15th-century font features four figures with standing out hair at the angles of the stem and four angels with spread-out wings against the bowl.
In the chancel, there is a monument of a cross-legged knight from around 1300, depicted wearing chain mail and a surcoat, with two angels by his head and two lions biting each other at his feet.
