Description

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building, originally constructed in the late 12th century or early 13th century, and virtually rebuilt around 1300. It features a 14th-century north aisle and later additions. The church is built of stone and has a tiled roof, comprising a nave with aisles, a chancel, and a Perpendicular south-west tower. Inside, there are fine arch-braced roofs. The north aisle was elaborately remodelled in 1851 to serve as a family chapel for the Earls of Harrowby. The church underwent significant restoration by W.D. Caröe in 1923 and later.

Notable interior features include a font dated 1669, a Jacobean pulpit with a tester, and a Jacobean-style communion rail and family pews in the chancel. There are numerous impressive monuments, primarily dedicated to the Erdeswick family, including four incised alabaster slabs from around 1600, a large mural monument with a recumbent effigy of Samson Erdeswick from 1603, designed by himself in 1601, and a mural monument to George Digby from 1675. The church is graded for its architectural interest, particularly its interior features.
