Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed church located on a site that predates the conquest. It contains fragments from the 12th century, with the majority of the structure dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. The church was reduced in size and restored around 1777, with further restoration occurring in 1888. The building is constructed of thinly coursed rubble, with the north side of the chancel rendered, and features slate roofs.

The layout includes a west tower, a three-bay nave with north and south porches, and a chancel. The square tower has four stages, with broad clasping buttresses at the first stage and a single lancet window on the west side. The second stage features two small round-headed Norman windows, while the third stage has two-light bell-chamber openings with Y-tracery. The top stage is Perpendicular in style, characterized by a deep frieze with an ornamental band, a crenellated parapet adorned with gargoyles, and corner pinnacles.

Inside the 1958 south porch, there is a heavily moulded Early English doorway from the 13th century. Adjacent to this is a Perpendicular three-light window. The south side of the chancel has two decorated windows, one with two lights and the other with three lights, the latter featuring trefoils and quatrefoils in the head. The east window of the chancel, which has three lights, was restored in 1888. The north side of the nave has restored two-light windows with Decorated tracery, while a third window is obscured by the north porch.

The interior showcases a 14th-century north arcade now set in the north wall, featuring double-chamfered arches on octagonal piers with moulded capitals and demi-column responds. Masks are present at the intersection of the arches. The double-chamfered tower arch, dating from around 1250, has circular responds with moulded capitals, and the 13th-century chancel arch features octagonal responds. The nave roof is arch-braced with large moulded tie-beams. There are two piscinas and an aumbry on the south side. The 19th-century font appears to use an inverted 14th-century font as a pedestal. An octagonal oak-panelled pulpit, dated 1629, is also present, along with bench ends featuring poppy-heads with carvings of animals, reptiles, grotesque heads, and one depicting a merman and a mermaid.
