Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church with some 13th-century fabric, but largely rebuilt in the 1850s and 1869 by J. Hakewill. It is constructed of rock-faced limestone and coursed ironstone rubble, with ashlar dressings. The roofs are tiled, with decorated tile ridges, some corrugated asbestos, and concrete interlocking tiles.
The church comprises a four-stage western tower, a nave, a north aisle, a chancel, a south porch, and a vestry. The tower has a base, three string courses, and a plain parapet. An octagonal stair tower is set to the east side, with corner buttresses to the top of the third stage on the south side. A clock is situated at the top of the stair tower. The south belfry light incorporates reused 13th-century stonework of two lights with trefoil heads, a quatrefoil at the top, and missing annular shafts, with a hood mould featuring carved label stops. The west side has a two-light window to the second stage, a single light to the third stage, and a belfry light that is a copy of the 13th-century south opening. Fenestration on the north side is similar to the south, but the belfry light is 19th-century. The east side matches the rest of the tower. The north aisle is of coursed ironstone rubble with three 19th-century lancets with trefoil heads, under a corrugated asbestos roof. The nave and aisles have stone-coped roofs.
The vestry is in rock-faced limestone with an east window that is a reused 13th-century three-light lancet with trefoil heads. The north side of the chancel has a 19th-century trefoil-headed lancet and a chimney above. The east end of the chancel is all 19th-century, featuring a five-light window in a late 13th-century style. A stone bearing three crosses is situated below the string course. The south side of the chancel has three 19th-century lancets, and the south side of the nave has a pair of 19th-century two-light windows.
The 19th-century porch has an interlocking concrete tiled roof and an Early English style opening with a quatrefoil above, along with side benches and side lights. The south doorway to the nave has a reset early 13th-century dogtoothed arch with splayed reveals, set within a 19th-century rock-faced surround.
The interior features a three-bay 13th-century north arcade with quatrefoil keeled shafts and annular capitals. The double-chamfered arches have hood moulds with patera label stops. The chancel and tower arches are 19th-century in the Early English style. The church contains a 19th-century stone pulpit and reredos, a Minton tile floor in the chancel, and 19th-century floriate corbels. A small octagonal font with four squat legs and a square set-back base sits on a later 19th-century octagonal plinth, and is possibly of 17th-century origin.
