Description

The Church of All Saints is a church that dates from the 12th century, with additions and restorations from the 13th, 15th, and 19th centuries. It was restored by Sir Ninian Couper between 1895 and 1898. The church features a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, and a chancel. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof for the nave and a tiled roof for the chancel, both with stone coped gables to the east. The unbuttressed tower is from the 13th century, with an upper stage from the 14th century, featuring bell openings on each facade and topped with later crocheted pinnacles. The north aisle is primarily from the 19th century, except for a 13th-century doorway that has dog-tooth and nailhead enrichments, along with two two-light and one four-light neo-perpendicular windows. The south aisle contains three two-light windows from the 15th century and a porch with a tiled roof and wooden gable, likely from the 13th century. A single 13th-century lancet window remains in the south wall of the chancel.

Inside, there is a south arcade that survives with four bays from the 13th century, along with the south chapel arch, tower arch, and chancel arch, all likely from the 13th century. The remains of a 13th-century arcade to the north chapel, now demolished, are embedded in the wall. The north sedilian is also from the 13th century. The roofs of the chancel and nave, the north arcade, wooden pews, and pulpit, as well as most of the stained glass, were replaced by Couper in the late 19th century.
