Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the 11th century, with additions from the 13th and 14th centuries, and restoration work completed in 1903-1904. It is constructed from coursed rubble and brick, featuring ashlar dressings, and has plain tile roofs. The building includes a chamfered plinth and ashlar quoins, with a brick coped gable that has kneelers and dentilated eaves.

The west tower, made of coursed rubble, has a nave and chancel under a single roof, which was rebuilt in brick in 1770. The west front of the tower features a doorway with a segment brick head and a plank door. Above this is a 2-light flat-headed 14th-century window, with a plaque inscribed 'T W' above it, followed by three heads from label stops that are embedded in the masonry. Another 14th-century window is located above, with four 13th-century polygonal shafts also buried in the masonry. The north front has a single 2-light flush mullion window. The tower is topped by a pyramidal roof added in 1904.

On the north wall of the nave, there are two tall pointed windows in flush brick surrounds with wooden cross mullions. The chancel has round-headed windows on the north, east, and south walls, each with moulded ashlar surrounds, impost blocks, and keystones; the eastern window has its lower half blocked. There is also a round-headed blocked doorway on the south side with a similar surround. The south wall of the nave features two pointed windows similar to those on the north, each accompanied by two oval slate wall tablets to the right.

Inside, the church contains an 11th-century pillar piscina with a zig-zag shaft, and a chamfered pointed tower arch on earlier responds. There is an 18th-century wooden altar rail, plain 19th-century pews, a pulpit, and a panel ceiling. The wooden screen, choir stalls, and reredos were added in 1904.
