Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating to 1899-1901, built on a medieval site and designed by J. Oldrid Scott. It is constructed of coursed and squared stone with ashlar dressings, and has a plain tile roof with coped verges on shaped kneelers. The church is of Gothic style, comprising a five-bay nave with a north porch, a two-bay chancel, a south-east vestry, and a north-east organ projection with diagonal buttresses. The nave has bay divisions marked by buttresses and pointed windows with three cinquefoil-headed lights and Decorated tracery. Two west windows, separated by a buttress, are similarly designed with trefoil-headed lights and Decorated tracery above. A gabled north porch features circular traceried windows to the gable and a pointed opening with a roll-moulded hood terminating in shields, leading to a pointed north door. The chancel's east window is pointed with three lights, the two outer ones trefoil-headed, the central one cinquefoiled, with cusped tracery above. A pointed window to the north side has two ogee trefoil-headed lights and a quatrefoil above. The tower is five stages, square in plan for the first two stages, octagonal above with a crocketed spire, and incorporates a semi-octagonal projection to the south. The tower's first stage has pointed windows with single cinquefoil-headed lights, the second has trefoil-headed lights under an ogee arch, and a parapet with quatrefoil openings. The third stage is blind, the fourth has ogee-headed panels containing ogee arch windows with trefoil-headed lights, and the belfry stage has louvred openings of two trefoil-headed lights under an ogee arch with a supermullion rising to a square head. The organ projection features a gable with a circular light containing cusped tracery, set within a square frame. Inside, the pointed chancel arch has a double chamfer and a roll-moulded hood. The nave roof features king posts braced on all four sides, extending to a ridge piece and principal rafters, with tie beams supported by short posts standing on stone corbels, and braces extending to the soffit of the tie beams. The chancel has an arch-braced collar roof with a king post above. Fittings include an octagonal stone font from 1916, a wooden eagle lectern, an octagonal stone pulpit, and a wooden rood screen, all dating from the early 20th century.
