Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating to the 12th century, with subsequent phases of building in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, and a restoration in 1888. The church comprises a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel, and a north vestry. It is constructed of ashlar and coursed rubble, with ashlar dressings, and has lead and slate roofs. Gable ends are finished with ashlar copings and cross finials, and there are angle buttresses with set-offs, some gabled. A moulded plinth runs around the church except at the chancel. Most windows have hood moulds with label stops.

The four-stage west tower has moulded bands. The west doorway features a four-centred chamfered arch with a 19th-century plank door. Above this is a three-light window within a double chamfered arch with panel tracery. North and south sides of the tower have two-light windows within chamfered four-centred arches. The third stage is blank, with a clock on the east face. The fourth stage contains two-light bell openings in pairs, set within deeply chamfered lancets, each with an ogee hood mould rising to a pinnacle. The tower is topped with battlements and eight crocketed pinnacles.

The four-bay clerestory has two-light panel tracery windows in chamfered four-centred arch surrounds. The north aisle has a two-light west window with panel tracery under a four-centred arch, and a round-headed doorway with single shafts featuring zig-zag and nailhead decoration, including faces, foliage, and animals. There are also three three-light panel tracery windows in chamfered segment arch surrounds. The vestry’s north face has a single lancet, and the east face has another three-light panel tracery window. The chancel has a single lancet and a two-light flowing tracery window. The east end features three restored lancets, and the south wall has two windows matching those on the north. The south aisle has single two-light panel tracery windows to the east and west, and three similar three-light windows to the south, all in chamfered segment arch surrounds. The porch arch is supported by triple shafts with nailhead decoration on the capitals and a deeply moulded chamfered arch. The south doorway has triple keeled shafts with dog-tooth detailing between them and dog-tooth and zig-zag decoration on the moulded arch.

Inside, the north and south arcades are each four bays, with double chamfered pointed arches supported on elaborate compound piers and responds. Piers alternate; one has four shafts and four spurs in the diagonals, another has four keeled shafts with dog-tooth detailing in the diagonals. The chancel arch has triple shaft responds with shaftrings and a moulded arch. There is an octagonal font, with arched faces, supported on nine circular piers. The interior also contains 19th-century pews, a pulpit, and a chancel screen. A stained glass window from 1885 by Gibbs is located in the north aisle. A monument from the early 14th century contains a defaced effigy of a lady.
