Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church located on Church Lane in Syerston. It dates from the 13th and 14th centuries and was thoroughly restored in 1896. The building is constructed of dressed coursed rubble and features plain tile roofs. It has coped gables with a single ridge finial on the east gable. The tower, nave, and chancel are all under a single roof, accompanied by a south porch. Most of the structure, except for the tower, is buttressed and sits on a shallow plinth.

The 13th-century low single-stage tower, which was modified in the 19th century, has an embattled design with a single lancet window on the south side and a rectangular stair light above. The bell chamber features four arched openings, each with two pointed arched lights, a hood mould, and remnants of label stops. The north front includes a restored 14th-century window with two ogee arched and cusped lights and tracery beneath a flat arch. To the left, there is a moulded pointed arched blocked doorway with a hood mould and human head label stops, followed by a similar two-light window and another single arched window with two arched and cusped lights.

The east end of the church has a single arched 19th-century three-light window with cusped panel tracery and a hood mould. On the south wall, there are two restored 14th-century windows, each with two ogee arched and cusped lights and tracery under a flat arch. To the left is a 19th-century double lancet window, and further left is a single restored 14th-century two-light window. The gabled and coped porch, topped with a single ridge cross, features a moulded arched entrance and a re-set stone inscribed 'W.H.C.V. 1724'. Inside the porch, there is an inner moulded pointed arched doorway, and to the left of the porch is another similar restored 14th-century two-light window.

Inside the church, the south chancel wall has an arched and cusped piscina. The decorative pulpit, dated 1636, includes a tester, and there is a 14th-century octagonal ashlar font decorated with blind tracery. A credence table dated 1629 is inscribed "This credence table is formed out of old wood taken from the roof Sep 1890". The chair is partially constructed with a 16th-century bench end, while the remaining furniture is from the 19th century. Additionally, there is a George III hatchment present in the church.
