Parish Church Of All Saints

The Parish Church of All Saints, built between 1854 and 1855 by Sir George Gilbert Scott for the Bedford Estates, is a Grade II* listed building. It is constructed of coursed stone with ashlar dressings and features clay tile roofs. The church comprises a chancel, a north vestry and organ chamber, a nave, north and south aisles, a north porch, and a west tower, designed in a late 13th-century style.

The church has mostly pointed-arched windows with dripstones that have moulded foliate stops. The tower and window heads are adorned with bands of geometric ornamentation in ironstone. The chancel features a three-light east window with geometrical tracery, while the vestry and both aisles primarily have paired trefoiled lights arranged in regular patterns. The nave includes four quatrefoil windows on each side of the clerestory. There are four-bay pointed-arched arcades on both sides, with similar arches leading to the chancel and tower. The gabled porch has a steeply pitched roof and two quatrefoil windows facing west. All parts of the church have stone-coped gables, with the chancel gable topped by a carved stone cross finial.

The west tower is divided into three stages, with setback buttresses that rise to the second stage. It features a two-light west window on the ground stage, single lights on all sides of the second stage, and two-light windows on all sides of the bell stage. An octagonal stair turret is attached to the northeast angle, rising slightly above the tower parapet. The tower is topped with a stone broach spire that has moulded decoration at each angle and ornamental lucarnes on alternate sides.

Inside, the church has relatively simple but consistent decoration, including wagon roofs in the nave and chancel, with stencil patterning between the rafters in some areas. Black-letter texts adorn the aisle walls, and there is foliate carving on the capitals. The octagonal marble font is supported by clustered columns and features carved panels.
