Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church, rebuilt in 1860 by G. Shaw of Manchester for H. Bridgeman Simpson of Babworth Hall. It is constructed of Steetley stone with tile roofs and coped gables, and features a bell turret on the nave ridge with open wooden traceried cusped panels and a pointed roof. The church is buttressed and sits on a chamfered plinth, comprising a nave, north porch, chancel, and south vestry.
The west end has a single pointed arched window with three cusped lights, tracery, a hood mould, and label stops. The north wall has a two-light arched window with cusped tracery, a hood mould, and label stops. The north porch has a moulded arched entrance, with a single cusped lancet above and single cusped lancets to the east and west walls. The inner doorway has a pointed chamfered arch. To the left of the porch are two arched windows, each with two lights and differing cusped tracery, a hood mould, and label stops. The north chancel has two windows each with a single arched and cusped light surmounted by a single trefoil. Further along is an arched doorway, and to its left a pair of pointed arched and cusped lights. The east chancel has a single arched three-light window with cusped tracery, a hood mould, and label stops. The south chancel has a pair of pointed arched and cusped lights. The east wall of the south vestry has a chamfered arched doorway, while the south wall has two cusped lancets. On the south wall, to the left of the vestry, is a single arched window with two cusped lights surmounted by a single quatrefoil, followed by a pair of arched and cusped lights, a single arched window with two arched and cusped lights surmounted by a single circle, and finally a pair of arched and cusped lights.
Inside, a moulded chancel arch is present. A 15th-century cusped, ogee arched piscina is located in the south chancel wall, featuring a crocketed hood mould and finial. The base is decorated with stylised heads and flowers, springing either side and terminating in an embattled head, with decorative strip pilasters. A 19th-century octagonal font is decorated with blind traceried round panels. The remaining furniture is also from the 19th century. A pointed chamfered arched doorway leads to the south vestry, which contains a monument to John, Elizabeth and Francis Stringer dated 1726. The monument has an open segmental pediment decorated with a central plain cartouche and two angel heads, with a decorative cartouche on the apron.
