Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the late 13th century or early 14th century and was restored in the late 19th century. It is built from roughcast sandstone rubble with dressed rubble dressings and has a tiled roof. The church features a continuous nave and chancel, with an entrance on the north side.

On the north front, there is an early 14th-century single light window with a trefoil head to the left of a two-centred arched chancel doorway, which has chamfered jambs of a similar date. To the left of the doorway, there is a three-light 19th-century window in the nave that has a two-centred arched head and chamfered jambs. The south side has a similar doorway to the north nave doorway and a 19th-century window to the right, which is partially blocked by the addition of a brick flue. There is also a square-headed window with an iron grate and wooden shutter to the right, along with a single trefoil-headed light to the chancel. The east window is from the 14th century and features two trefoil-headed lights with a quatrefoil above, as well as a trefoil-headed light at the west end.

Inside, there is an early 18th-century gallery at the west end of the nave supported by two oak posts with moulded capitals and bases. The gallery has fielded panels, panelled standards, and moulded capping, but is now blocked to the ground floor. At the back of the gallery, there is a doorway with a panelled door and a fanlight featuring three radiating flat balusters. The nave walls have an 18th-century dado of fielded panelling, and there is a nave partition. The early 18th-century communion rails have turned balusters and a book board. The early 18th-century pulpit is semi-hexagonal with panelled sides.

In the chancel, there is an early 14th-century piscina with a trefoiled head, and another piscina in the south wall of the nave, also with a trefoiled head. Fragments of 14th-century glass have been re-assembled in the east window. The font, which may be from the 15th century, has an octagonal bowl with a hollow splayed underside and a later brick base. Among the monuments is a wall tablet commemorating Thomas Harley from 1738, featuring a marble pedimented surround with a cartouche of arms below.
