Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church built in 1901 by the architectural firm Austin and Paley. It is constructed of red brick in English stretcher bond with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof with stone coped verges, designed in the Gothic style. The church consists of a two-bay nave and a single-bay chancel that are combined, with buttresses marking the division between them. There is a north-east vestry and a south-west porch.
The nave and chancel have two-light side windows; the outer windows are square-headed with trefoil-headed lights, while the central window is pointed and breaks through the eaves as a gabled dormer, showcasing cusped tracery of late Decorated character. The east window is a pointed three-light window with Perpendicular tracery, topped by a stone cross at the apex of the east gable. The west window also features three lights with Perpendicular tracery, and there is a western bellcote with a double-ogee arched opening and a pedimented gable surmounted by a cross.
The porch has a timber-framed gable that is bracketed out over a nail-studded door. The vestry on the north side includes a window with three cusped lights and a door with a square head.
Inside, the church features pine wall panelling up to window sill level, a double collar roof that supports a collar purlin and two pairs of side purlins, and an organ recess on the north side of the chancel with a segmental pointed arch.
Notable fittings include a font with a moulded base, a marble pedestal, and an octagonal basin with a moulded base and a small wooden cover in a Gothic style. There is also an octagonal wooden pulpit with linen-fold panels, a wooden screen with Perpendicular tracery, a simple altar, and a panelled reredos adorned with shields, along with a brass altar rail.
