Description
The Church of All Saints is a chapel-of-ease built in 1846 by H. Ward, with additions and alterations made in 1873. It features chisel dressed ashlar and shaped tile roofs with coped verges on shaped kneelers. The church is designed in a late 13th century Gothic style and includes a south-west tower with diagonal buttresses, a 5-bay nave, a 3-bay south-east aisle, a single-bay chancel, and a north-east vestry.
The south-west tower has three stages marked by string courses, with a band decorated with ball flower ornamentation and a stone steeple added around 1873. The first stage features a pointed south doorway with nook shafts and a roll and fillet moulded arch, along with a small rectangular loop on the west side. The second stage has circular clocks on each side, each with hood moulds that terminate in heads. The belfry openings are paired and have banded nook shafts, with single trefoil-headed lights set within pointed arches. There is also a quarter round stair turret at the north-west corner, which has a pointed door.
The nave and south aisle contain lancet windows with hood moulds that terminate in heads, as well as a pointed west window with three lights featuring Geometrical tracery and a hood mould that terminates in heads. The nave is supported by angle buttresses, while the south aisle has diagonal buttresses and a central pointed doorway. The chancel has an east window with cusped intersecting tracery that incorporates Geometrical tracery, along with a hood mould that terminates in heads. The vestry has a pointed door to the east and a lancet window to the north.
Inside, the church features a pointed nave arcade composed of two roll and fillet moulded orders that spring from quadrilobe columns with fillet, water holding bases, and moulded capitals. There is a pointed chancel arch, and the nave roof is constructed with braced secondary rafters that support a collar with braced king-posts above, along with two pairs of purlins and a plank ridge. The chancel roof has arch braces that cross near the apex.
Notable fittings include a circular stone font with a moulded base and basin with panelled sides and nook shafts, as well as a hexagonal stone pulpit adorned with dog-tooth ornamentation around the top. The church also features stained glass, including a notable west window from 1894, an east window from 1862, and three late 19th century windows on the north side.
