Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries, with restoration and rebuilding carried out in 1863 by Edward Browning of Stamford. It is constructed from squared limestone rubble with some brick patching and features slate roofs with raised stone coped gables and kneelers. The church comprises a nave with a western bellcote, a chancel, a north aisle, a vestry, and a south porch.

The west end showcases a 19th-century two-light window above which is a gabled double bellcote. The west wall of the north aisle contains a single 19th-century trefoil-headed light, while the north wall features a reused 14th-century three-light cusped ogee-headed window alongside a 19th-century copy, both with flat lintels. The east window of the vestry is a reused 14th-century two-light opening with transoms and a round arch above, and the east wall has a 19th-century two-light window with a quatrefoil above. The south chancel wall has a single 19th-century light, and the south wall of the nave includes two 14th-century three-light windows with cusped ogee heads, flat lintels, and hood moulds. The 19th-century gabled south porch features a pointed outer arch and quatrefoil side lights, while the inner doorway from the 13th century is single chamfered with a roll-moulded hood.

Inside, the church has a three-bay 19th-century north arcade with double chamfered arches that spring from carved corbels with human head stops, and the nave roof is supported by 19th-century corbels decorated with foliage. The double chamfered chancel arch also springs from 19th-century human head corbels, and there is a single chamfered door to the vestry in the north wall of the chancel. The floors are covered with polychromatic tiles throughout, and all the roofs date from the 19th century. The fittings are from 1863, but the notable font stands on three annular shafts with collars and features elaborate carved foliage on its octagonal bowl. Additionally, on the north wall of the aisle, there is a wooden shield-shaped plaque displaying a cast iron royal cypher of Queen Victoria.
