Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church located in Shelsley Beauchamp. The tower dates from the 14th century, while the remainder of the church was rebuilt between 1846 and 1847 in a 13th-century style by architect James Cranston. The building is constructed of coursed, squared rubble with large eroded ashlar blocks on the tower, featuring freestone dressings and a plain tiled roof.

The church comprises a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles under a single roof, a south porch, a chancel, and a north vestry. The west tower has two stages, diagonal buttresses, a plain parapet with pinnacles, a three-light restored west window, and two-light cusped windows in the bell chamber. There is a half-hexagonal stair tower at the southeast corner. The north aisle consists of four bays with two-light trefoil-headed windows and quatrefoils above, separated by buttresses. The south aisle mirrors the north with three single and two-light windows but lacks buttresses. The gabled south porch projects and features a double chamfered outer doorway topped with a cross finial.

The chancel has three bays with tall trefoil-headed windows, a three-light stepped lancet window on the east side, and a south priest's door. Inside, there are three bay arcades supported by four engaged columns, which are quatrefoil in plan, with dogtooth enriched abacuses and chamfered arches. The chancel arch rests on foliate capitals. The font, dating from the 12th to 13th century, has a circular bowl on a cylindrical stem and a restored octagonal base. The church also contains 19th-century pulpit and fittings, as well as fragments of a Perpendicular style screen on either side of the chancel arch, featuring blank traceried panels with fleurous above.
