Description

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building located in Coddington, dating from the 12th to 13th century, with restoration and enlargements carried out by F R Kempson between 1865 and 1866. It is constructed of red, grey, and green freestone, topped with tiled roofs. The church features a nave with three bays and a long 12th-century chancel, along with a south porch, vestry, organ chamber, western tower, and a broach spire added by Kempson. The nave and chancel are adorned with 13th-century lancet windows, the tallest of which are located in the east wall. There are two blocked Norman semi-circular headed doors on the north wall of the nave, one opposite an existing Norman doorhead from the south porch and another opposite a third blocked Norman door in the south wall. A priests' door is situated on the south wall of the chancel.

Inside, the nave roof is either medieval or Jacobean, featuring a central longitudinal purlin, arch braces that support collars, and curved struts to the rafters, creating a wagon roof effect. The east window on the south side of the nave includes trefoiled lancets with fragments of 14th-century stained glass in the heads. The font has a 19th-century bowl and plinth, while the stem consists of a block with attached shafts that are likely from the 13th century. The chancel arch rests on corbels decorated with coarse flat stiff-leaf foliage. The reredos features foliated neo-late-Norman interlacing round-headed arches supported by freestanding marble columns. The oak altar rails, which have turned balusters, are probably Victorian. Additionally, there is a trefoil-headed piscina in the south wall. The east wall contains two lancets dedicated to Kathleen Bulkeley, who died in 1907; the left lancet represents the Angel's Message, designed by Burne-Jones, and the right depicts the Agony in the Garden, designed by Morris and Co, who executed both windows. Kempson's restoration of the church cost £1,832 and was funded by Mrs. Hope.
