Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating to the mid-11th century, with significant additions and alterations from the 13th, 14th, and 18th centuries, and a 19th-century restoration. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with limestone ashlar dressings, some areas rendered, and has slate roofs with stone coped gables, cross finials and ornamental ridge tiles. The church comprises a mid-11th century rendered west tower, a nave with a north aisle and south porch, and a rectangular chancel.

The west tower features large 14th-century clasping pilaster buttresses with plinths. A low western lunette window is positioned above a keystoned window. Bell openings with paired round-headed openings, divided by a mid-wall shaft, are present on all four sides. The tower has moulded eaves and a parapet. The north aisle, restored in the 19th century, has a 19th-century ashlar dressed lancet and clasping buttress on its west side, and two 19th-century ashlar dressed lancets. The east end of the north aisle has a small pointed window with broad chamfered sides. A 19th-century pointed doorway with a chamfered surround and plank door is located on the north side of the chancel, leading to a rendered north wall containing a 13th-century lancet. The east end of the chancel features a 19th-century window of three pointed lights with intersecting tracery, a hood mould and label stops. A blocked 13th-century doorway and a window with intersecting tracery, hood mould and label stops are also found on the north side. A two-stage buttress separates the nave and chancel. The nave’s restored 19th-century window has two cusped lights, quatrefoil, hood mould and label stops. The south porch is from the 18th century, with a round-headed doorway, imposts, and a hood mould. Inside this porch is a 11th-century round-headed doorway with radial voussoirs, chamfered imposts, and plank doors. The interior of the tower has a round-headed arch with radial voussoirs and chamfered imposts.

The early 13th-century north arcade consists of two bays with a polygonal pier, keeled responds, beaded crocketed capitals, and pointed, double chamfered heads with hood moulds and circular mouldings where the arch springs from the capitals. The mid-13th century chancel arch is double-chamfered with a pointed head, supported on polygonal corbels. Doorways in the north and south chancel walls face each other, with segmental heads; the north doorway has a chamfered surround. A 11th-century aumbry with a triangular head and scored imposts is found in the north chancel wall. A piscina with a trefoiled head, beaded abaci and chamfered jambs is located in the south chancel wall. The church also contains a 17th-century altar rail, 20th-century stalls, pews, and a pulpit. A 12th-century drum font with 15th-century giant dentils round the base is also present, along with 19th-century timber roofs and a single 19th-century monument.
