Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church with origins in the late 13th century, featuring alterations from the 15th century and extensions and restorations around 1819. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared red sandstone, topped with a combination of tile, slate, and lead roofing, and has verge parapets with a cornice on the nave and aisles. The church comprises a west tower, nave, aisles, and chancel.
The tower is the most prominent feature, being stocky and octagonal with three stepped stages and a parapet. It has squat, Perpendicular-style bell chamber openings with two lights set in square reveals on alternate faces, and small blind lancets below. The nave has a partially slate roof and features a clerestory and cornice from 1819, along with four bays of pointed Y-tracery windows that appear sunken into the roofs of the aisles. The aisles, also dating from 1819, have low-pitched leaded roofs and four bays with pointed Y-tracery windows, except for the ends and the west end of the south aisle, which feature three-light windows in a 15th-century style. The entrances are positioned slightly west of center, framed by an even quoin surround that runs around the Tudor arched opening, with a deep reveal and double doors topped with an overlight.
The chancel, dating from the 15th century, has a steeply pitched roof and is divided into two bays by two-stage buttresses that are diagonal at the corners. It features two-light ogee-headed windows set in rectangular reveals on the sides, and the east window consists of three trefoil-headed lights set in a Tudor arched reveal. A classical plaque is located to the north of the east window, and below it is a panel flanked by carved stone figures. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the resurvey.
