Description

The Parish Church of All Saints is a historic church that dates from the late 12th century to the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble, with some brown cobbles and red brick, and features ashlar dressings. The roofs are made of clay tiles. The church comprises a chancel, a north vestry, a nave, a south porch, a north aisle, and a west tower.

The chancel, which dates from the 14th century, has a south wall that was rebuilt around 1700 in red brick. The south windows are square-headed and feature 19th-century tracery, while the east window from the 14th century was reworked in the 20th century. The chancel arch is from the 19th century, and there is a segmental arch on the north wall leading to the late 19th-century north vestry made of brown cobbles.

The nave was rebuilt in the 15th century but retains a south doorway from the 12th century, which has a chequerboard pattern on the interior tympanum. The south porch, made of timber and red brick, dates to around 1700. The north arcade has three bays from the 13th century, and the north aisle, also from the 13th century, features 15th-century windows and a blocked doorway, with a 17th-century roof that has two cross gables.

The two-stage west tower, dating from the 15th century, has simple 16th-century belfry windows and an embattled parapet. Inside, the nave roof is plastered but retains original ties and crown posts, while the other roofs are modern. The south wall of the nave features a monument from 1718 dedicated to John Wigstaffe and his wife Elizabeth.
