Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church located on the west side of Warwick Road in Leek Wootton. The original church was demolished in 1789, and the current tower and nave were constructed in Gothic style in 1792. The chancel was added in 1843, the nave roof was raised in 1864, and the nave was lengthened in 1889. The church comprises a chancel, nave, west tower, vestry, and south porch, with walls made of sandstone ashlar and steeply pitched plain tile roofs.
The tower has three stages, each marked by a moulded stringcourse. It features angle buttresses that extend to the base of the embattled parapet. The west face of the lowest stage includes a three-light window with cinquefoil tracery, above which is a blank quatrefoil window. The third stage contains two-light belfry windows. The nave has a plain parapet adorned with three crocketted pinnacles. The south wall of the nave has three windows, two with two lights and one with three lights, while the north wall has similar windows and a circular rose window. The south porch is supported by angle buttresses and has a tiled roof.
The chancel features buttresses and a continuous string band at cill level. Below the four-light pointed east window with cinquefoil tracery is a two-light mullioned window that serves a chamber built to accommodate the slope of the ground from west to east. The south wall of the chancel has three cinquefoil windows, and the north wall has one. Attached to the north of the chancel is a gabled vestry with a three-light cinquefoil window in the north gable.
Inside, the chancel and nave have open timber roofs, with the nave roof constructed in a hammer-beam style. There is a panelled oak pulpit and an oak chancel screen that was erected in 1929. The church also features an octagonal panelled stone font from 1845 and a tomb recess or Easter Sepulchre in the north wall of the nave. Additionally, there are several 18th and 19th-century mural tablets within the church. In the churchyard, immediately east of the south porch, there is a 12th-century tapered circular font.
