Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a predominantly 14th-century church with a 13th-century chancel, extensively restored and with a largely rebuilt tower from 1883. It is constructed of regular coursed sandstone with old plain-tile roofs having coped gable parapets. The church comprises a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch, displaying Decorated and Perpendicular architectural styles. Throughout the building, splayed plinths and cornices are present.

The chancel, of two bays, features deep angle buttresses and an east window of five lights with cusped intersecting tracery, where a quatrefoil replaces the apex intersection. A chamfered ogee-arched doorway is found on the north side, with a blocked lancet window, and a central three-light 19th-century window with intersecting tracery. The south side has two largely renewed windows with cusped Y-tracery and a chamfered ogee lancet. The porch has a doorway formed of two segmental-pointed, chamfered orders with plain jambs, a simple chamfered ogee doorway inside, and low buttresses to the east and west corners. The north side features windows with renewed cusped intersecting tracery to the east and cusped Y-tracery to the west, and a slate slab with an incised decoration and inscription commemorating Benjamin Shelton in 1782.

The tower is of three stages and includes a tall two-light ogee west window, a lancet slit window on the second stage, and a 15th-century parapet. The spire has blind arcading featuring trefoiled arches and two tiers of lucarnes. Internally, the chancel contains a trefoiled piscina with a hood mould, a low recess in the north wall, and a 19th-century wagon roof. The chancel arch is formed of two continuous chamfered orders. The nave has a piscina and a 19th-century crown post roof, while the tower arch is of two segmental-pointed, chamfered orders. Fittings include a screen constructed from tracery from a 15th-century screen's dado panels, a late 19th-century octagonal font, a pulpit with coronas, and various architectural tablets from the late 18th century. Monuments include a defaced early 14th-century effigy of a lady, a memorial to Robert Burdett (1603) depicting kneeling figures beneath two arches with composite columns, obelisks, and strapwork, and an apron of part-coloured alabaster.
