Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a chapel of ease originally constructed between 1866 and 1867 by Butterfield for Thomas Bass, a local brewer. A south aisle was added by Butterfield between 1884 and 1886, and the chancel was added in 1895 by Bodley. The church is built of chisel-draughted, coursed and dressed stone with smooth dressings, and features tiled roofs with verge parapets.

The church comprises a west tower, a nave, a chancel, a south aisle, and a vestry. The tower stands on a plinth and consists of three stages separated by string courses; it has angle buttresses that continue as pilasters into a projecting top frieze of quatrefoils. A pent stair turret is located to the north-east, and the tower is surmounted by a short, broach spire with plate-tracery lucarnes. The bell chamber has two-light pointed openings, quatrefoil medallions to either side of the head, an openwork wrought-iron clock set within the head, a lancet window to the first stage, and a two-light plate-tracery window to the west. The nave has a gabled north porch with diagonal buttresses and a pointed arch with a trefoil label and a quatrefoil to the apex. It also includes four bays divided by single-stage buttresses and labelled two-light plate tracery windows. The chancel, added in 1895, is more richly decorated than the rest of the church, is of two bays, and has a lower roofline than the nave. It has pointed, two-light windows, and a three-light east window featuring low-relief figures in tripartite panels. The south aisle has five bays divided by gabletted two-stage buttresses, a coved eaves band with fleurons, a raised cill string, and pointed three-light trefoil-headed windows, paired to the east bay and paired two-lights to the west end. A Priest's door is located to the east bay, and a low, flat-roofed vestry is attached to the east, running flush with the east end of the chancel; its east side features an unusual square-headed quatrefoil tracery window with four lights.

Inside the church, there is a five-bay pointed arcade with fleurons in the intrados, resting on clustered marble columns, and a pointed chancel arch. The nave has a painted trussed roof, while the chancel has a similarly painted, boarded barrel vault roof. The chancel includes a canted apsidal end with figures in niches and a typical Bodley black and white marble floor; figures are also set into the reveals of the aisle windows. The organ bay roof is finely painted, and an elaborate oak screen separates the chancel. The pulpit is made of oak and has a three-sided front on a stone plinth. The font, situated under the tower, is octagonal, made of different coloured marbles, and features arcaded sides with cinquefoil gablets. A wood-panelled and painted reredos with stone figures at the rear is also present. Inscribed brass hatchments are displayed in the chancel.
