Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church rebuilt in 1846, incorporating a portion of the medieval tower. Designed by Thomas Johnson of Lichfield, it is constructed of ashlar with slate roofs featuring coped verges and is built in the early 14th-century Decorated style. The church has a cruciform plan, comprising a crossing tower, a five-bay nave and aisles, a south porch, a three-bay chancel, and two-bay transepts.

The crossing tower, visible above the roofs, has a slim ogee-headed loop on each face. The upper stages feature pointed belfry openings of two trefoil-headed lights with a single reticulation over and a crenellated parapet. The nave and aisles have transomed windows consisting of two trefoil-headed lights and a quatrefoil above. A five-light Decorated tracery window is present on the west side, along with a pointed west door with a hood mould terminating in heads and paired niches to the gable with crocheted hoods. The west end features a coped parapet and diagonal buttresses. The chancel has three-light windows to the north and south, a five-light east window, and an empty niche to the gable with a crocketed hood. The transepts have windows with three trefoil-headed lights and angle buttresses.

Inside, the nave arcade has cruciform piers with canted lobes and sunken chamfers, and pointed arches with sunken chamfers. Tall, pointed roll and fillet moulded crossing arches, all with hood moulds terminating in heads, are also present. The nave roof is scissor braced, featuring two pairs of purlins, a ridge piece, and posts springing from stone corbels. The chancel and crossing are rib vaulted; the chancel displays foliated bosses and transverse and diagonal ribs springing from foliated corbels, while the crossing has diagonal ribs dying away into the corners and a central circular opening for bell ropes. The chancel floor features highly decorative tiles attributed to Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin.

The church contains a quatrefoil plan font created by H. Jeavons, a pewter eagle lectern, and an octagonal stone pulpit with trefoil-headed panelling to the sides. Notable monuments include an alabaster chest tomb of Sir John Ashenhurst (died 1520), depicting reclining figures of Sir John and his wife, the former in plate armor with a lion at his feet, featuring panelled sides with pairs of figures under twin crocketed ogee canopies. A marble aedicule commemorates the Rev. Ashenhurst (died 1704), displaying a coat of arms, and another marble aedicule commemorates Elizabeth Whitehall (18th century), also with a coat of arms. Stained glass is present in the east window by William Wailes, medieval glass in the south-east and north-east chancel windows, windows in the north aisle by C.A. Gibbs of Bedford Square (1862 and 1868), a west window created in 1874 by William Morris and Sir Edward Burne-Jones, west aisle windows from 1890, and a south aisle east window from 1913.
