Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the 14th century, with remodels from the 15th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings. The church features a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, north and south chapels, and a chancel. The 14th-century west tower has three stages and an octagonal spire with lucarnes, a plain parapet adorned with a frieze of grotesque heads, and gargoyles at the center of each side. The nave includes three-bay north and south arcades that rest on 14th-century bases but were raised later, likely when the clerestory was added in the 15th century. The north aisle, south aisle, and south porch were remodeled in the 15th century, along with the addition of the north and south chapels. The church features embattled parapets on the nave, aisles, porch, and chapels. The east windows of the chapels are more elaborate than those on the side walls. The chancel arch is from the 13th century, while the chancel itself has 15th-century windows. The exterior displays projecting carved heads, with two flanking east windows and one on the south wall below the plain parapet. Moulded four-centred arches lead into the north and south chapels. The roofs of the nave and aisles from the 15th century are decorated with angels carrying instruments of the Passion and musical instruments. Inside, there is a 14th-century octagonal font in the south aisle and a canopied tomb recess in the north aisle. The north and south chapels contain 17th-century wall monuments. The church also features a Perpendicular wood pulpit, elaborate medieval wood rood and chapel screens, and a Jacobean gate to the rood screen. The pews are predominantly medieval.
