Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating to the late 13th century, with substantial restoration and rebuilding in 1869 and 1875 by James Fowler of Louth in the Early English style. It is constructed of greenstone squared rubble with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The church comprises a western tower, a nave, a chancel with an apsidal east end, and a south porch.

The three-stage tower, likely incorporating some medieval fabric, was largely rebuilt in 1875. It features a plinth, three string courses, an ashlar parapet with corner pinnacles, and winged beasts. The west window is a single lancet with a hood mould having leafy stops. Above the lancet is a plain chamfered rectangular opening. The belfry has triple pointed lights to each face, with detached annular shafts and hood moulds. The rock-faced 19th-century nave has three single chamfered lancets to the north face, divided by buttresses. The apsidal east end has three similar windows to each face. Decorative cast iron panels with an iron cross fleury are set into the west end of the roof ridge. The south side of the nave has two pairs of lancets with common sills. The gabled south porch has a deeply moulded 19th-century outer doorway with floriate stops and carving to the chamfered sides, and single pointed side lights. The inner doorway is a moulded pointed opening dying to reveals, and the plain door has contemporary decorative hinges.

Inside, the 19th-century tower arch is single chamfered, with keeled responds, an outer roll supported on engaged shafts, and a hood mould with floriate stops. A late 13th-century three-bay arcade to the now-vanished north aisle is preserved in the north wall, featuring double chamfered arches, octagonal columns, and capitals. The nave and apsidal sanctuary are undivided. The sanctuary is marked by large stone corbels shaped like shields bearing angels, each supporting four annular wooden shafts with carved leaf capitals, which bear a pointed timber box arch with pierced lancet and quatrefoil decoration. All windows feature engaged annular shafts and moulded heads. A timber frieze of pierced lancets, continuing with pierced quatrefoil decoration, runs along the nave wall and around the apse. The nave roof is scissor braced, with diagonal boarding over the apse, the rafters radiating from a circular centrepiece. Fittings are all 19th-century, including a stone pulpit with blank arcaded panels and dogtooth decoration, and an integral lectern. A circular chalice-shaped font is decorated with four roundels depicting scenes from the life of Christ. The east window contains a small panel of 17th-century German stained glass.
