Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating back to the 14th century, with a significant rebuilding in the 19th century by Hodgson Fowler. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and ashlar, with shingled and plain tiled roofs and stone coped gables. The church comprises a western tower, nave, chancel, south porch, north aisle, and vestry.

The 14th-century two-stage tower features a tall ground stage, a string course, and a broach spire clad in shingles. A square, chamfered light with reused cusped tracery is set into the south side of the tower, above which is a clock inscribed with its erection in 1897. The belfry stage has four reused paired ogee-headed lights with hood moulds and recut label stops. The west window is a 19th-century ogee light, above which is a square light with 19th-century tracery.

The north aisle, nave, and chancel were rebuilt in the 19th century using ashlar. The west wall of the north aisle has a single light, while three sets of paired lights are found in the north wall. The vestry has further paired lights and a shouldered door. The east chancel window consists of three lights with three quatrefoils above; a foundation stone dated “1890” is set beneath it. The chancel south wall has two recut early 14th-century geometric windows with trilobe heads, trefoils, hood moulds, and label stops. The south wall of the nave features a pair of 2-light 19th-century windows. The gabled south porch has a pointed moulded doorway without capitals.

Inside, the three-bay 19th-century north arcade has octagonal piers and abaci with double-chamfered arches. The responds are engaged wall shafts. The double-chamfered tower arch dies to its reveals with no capitals. The chancel arch, incorporating some medieval work, features octagonal responds and capitals and a double-chamfered arch. All roofs are arch braced with decorative wind bracing. The fittings, all from the 19th century, include choir stalls, a screen, pews, and a pulpit. An octagonal font is decorated with quatrefoils and roses in the upper panels and is cusped on the underside. The east window contains stained glass depicting Christ in Majesty, dedicated to Charles Cust in 1893.
