Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church largely dating to the 11th century, with significant additions and alterations in the early 13th century, late 13th century, and a restoration in 1871. Constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with stone-coped slate roofs, the church comprises a nave with a western bellcote, a chancel, and a south porch.

The west end features a roll moulded plinth and a single 13th-century lancet window with a hoodmould. A roll moulding tops the gable, supporting a worn, chamfered bellcote from the late 12th century with pointed openings, a rectangular mid wall shaft and imposts, and a 19th-century cross fleury on top. The gable has been raised, revealing the steeper pitch of the original nave roof. A blocked 4-bay arcade, dating to the 13th century, is visible in the north wall, with four 19th-century lancet windows inserted into the blocking. Above the first three arches are small quatrefoil clerestory lights; the left-hand window is 13th century, while the other two are 19th-century replicas. The chancel was largely rebuilt in 1871, although retaining some medieval fabric. The north window is a single lancet, the east window is a flat group of three stepped lancets, and the south side mirrors the north. The south side of the nave has two stepped buttresses and two 13th-century lancet windows, with a quatrefoil clerestory light above each, one 13th century and one 19th century. Adjacent to the 19th-century porch is one half of a door arch and impost, cut by a 13th-century lancet, suggesting a possible 11th-century Anglo-Saxon south door. The south doorway features a single order of columns with scalloped capitals, a double zig-zag motif with a cross motif hoodmould to the arch, and a plain square inner arch. The remains of a 12th-century corbel table, largely removed when the clerestory was added, are visible on the west side of the south face.

Inside, the blocked north arcade has 13th-century octagonal columns; the two eastern capitals exhibit nail head decoration, and the arches are double chamfered. Fragments from the 12th-century corbel table are set between the arches, two above each column, with a further four corbel heads on the south side. The chancel arch dates to 1871 and is in the Early English style. A 19th-century aumbry is set in the north wall of the chancel, featuring a fragment of an Anglo-Saxon cross-shaft with interlace decoration and two decorated 12th-century slab fragments. The stained glass in the chancel and quatrefoil lights dates to 1875. The stone pulpit and timber pews are 19th century, while two bench ends in the chancel are 15th century, with poppy heads; a chest dates from the 17th century.
