Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the 12th century or earlier, with additions and alterations made in the 15th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a chancel, south chapel, nave, south aisle, south porch, and west tower. The 15th-century chancel replaces a 14th-century north chapel, which is indicated by a 14th-century three-light east window that has a dripstone with eroded heads to the stops.

To the north, there is a 19th-century organ chamber, which includes a 15th-century two-light window to its east. The east and north elevations have plain parapets. The original 12th-century chancel was enlarged in the early 13th century and became the south chapel in the 15th century. The former north external wall separates it from the present chancel, with the east elevation aligned with that of the current chancel. The east window is similar to that of the chancel, although its tracery has been renewed.

The north wall features a lancet window, with its external face visible in the south wall of the chancel, and a squint, likely from the 14th century, located to the west of it. The south wall has two 15th-century windows with heads to their dripstone stops, some of which have been reworked in the 19th century, and an embattled parapet. The 15th-century nave replaced an earlier north aisle, and the south clerestory windows were blocked when the south aisle was heightened. The north wall has 15th-century windows, a door, and three clerestory windows.

The south arcade, which is four bays wide, dates from the late 12th century and was heightened in the 15th century while retaining Norman capitals—two plain and one with stiff-leaf decoration—and bases with angle spurs. The responds are from the 15th century. The south aisle, originally the Norman nave, has an early 15th-century arch leading to the south chapel. The south and west windows were replaced in the late 14th and 15th centuries. The south porch, built in the 15th century, features an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles and a cross, gargoyles at the angles, and a small canopied niche. The dripstone stops have carved heads, and there is an angel with a shield at the apex. The south door was renewed in the 19th century.

The west tower, which is four stages high, dates from the 15th century but was extensively rebuilt in the 19th century. It has paired belfry windows and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. Inside, there is a simple octagonal font from the 15th century in the south aisle, some pewing from the 15th or 16th centuries, two 17th-century tomb slabs in the south chapel, a 15th-century rood beam, and late 18th to early 19th-century coved plastered ceilings in the chancel and south chapel, with other ceilings being later replacements.
