Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating to 1886-8, designed by S. G. Parry. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, and has a tiled roof with stone coped gables, kneelers, and crosses. The church is buttressed and sits on a plinth. It includes a north-west tower with a spire, a north porch, a nave, a north aisle, a north organ chamber, a vestry, and a chancel.
The angle-buttressed tower has a base and four stages. The ground floor west side features two lancet windows, a porch entrance to the north, and two lancet windows to the east. The first floor has a lancet window on each side, flanked by single blind lancets. The bell chamber is set back and has four two-light arched windows with hood moulds and label stops. The broached spire has two sets of lucarnes and a crocketed ashlar pinnacle. The porch, contained within the tower, has an arched entrance with an ashlar hood mould and label stops, topped with an ashlar cross.
The north aisle has five single-light arched windows with ashlar hood moulds, extending to a string course. The gable of the organ chamber features a double lancet window with a quatrefoil above and an ashlar hood mould and label stops. The gabled vestry has an arched doorway with an ashlar hood mould and label stop to the east, a centre quatrefoil with an ashlar hood mould and label stops, and an east wall with a square-headed four-light stone mullion window. The east end has a triple lancet window, with the central lancet being taller, alongside a pair of very small lancets above. The south wall of the chancel has three single lancet windows with a trefoil and ashlar hood mould and label stops; the easternmost one has an ashlar block with a carved cross at its base. The south nave has three two-light windows with a cinquefoil, with hood moulds extending to a string course. The west end projects to form a baptistry with three lancet windows and a string course. The interior porch doorway has an arched opening with an ashlar hood mould and label stops.
Inside, the red brick is exposed with ashlar dressings. The nave and north aisle are separated by an arcade of three bays, with two circular stone polychromatic piers. Arches connect the nave to the baptistry, organ chamber, and chancel, all constructed of brick with ashlar dressings; a double ashlar arch with a quatrefoil leads from the chancel to the organ chamber. The church contains contemporary furnishings, including encaustic tiling to the chancel and baptistry floors, a moulded reredos, a pulpit, a font, pews, stalls, and various stained-glass windows.
