Description
The Church of All Saints is a Gothic Revival church built in 1870-1871, designed by Arthur W Blomfield. Constructed of red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings of greenish sandstone and a tiled roof, the church features a three-bay nave with a lower-ridged chancel, a north-facing organ chamber (originally a vestry), a gabled porch on the south side’s west end, and a gabled bell cote above the western end. A projecting plinth runs around the building, and the nave’s west end has angled buttresses with offsets. The west side has two two-light windows with traceried heads, with a central buttress rising to support the bell cote. The south side features a gabled porch, followed by a single-light and a two-light window. A buttress with offsets and a gabled head marks the chancel arch. The north side has three two-light windows with traceried heads, including quatrefoils at their apexes. The chancel east end has a central three-light window with a traceried head and lancet lights divided by colonnetted mullions. The organ chamber projects on the north side under a catslide roof, with a lancet window on its eastern wall. The chancel south side has a two-light window and a lancet window.
Inside, the nave and chancel have panelled ceilings with arched trusses supported by stone corbels and short wall posts. The chancel arch is prominent and partly supported by short columns rising from moulded stone brackets. The northern organ chamber has a blocked fireplace with a Tudor arch, indicative of its previous use as a private pew or vestry. A plain, circular font, believed to date from the 12th century and transferred from the earlier church on the site, is also present. The eastern window contains stained glass of good quality by Morris and Co., depicting a crucifixion flanked by figures of St Mary and St John. The base of the window bears lettering commemorating three parish members who died in the First World War: Frank Amies, Henry Yapp, and John Leath, with the inscription "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND / IN MEMORY OF [names] OF THIS PARISH WHO / LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE / GREAT WAR. 1914 - 1918.”
