Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the early 14th century and 15th century, with significant alterations and enlargement made in 1862 by Edward Haycock of Shrewsbury. The building is constructed from coursed rubble, primarily ironstone, with ashlar dressings, and features clay tile roofs.

The church comprises a chancel, north chapel and vestry, nave, south porch, and north aisle, with the chancel dating back to the 14th century. It has a five-light pointed-arched east window with net tracery, two pointed-arched two-light south windows, and a low-side window below the southwest one. There is also a pointed-arched south doorway and a broad chancel arch. The north chapel, originating from the 15th century, was rebuilt in the 19th century and contains a three-light pointed east window. The north vestry, also late 19th century, features a hipped roof.

The nave, which dates back to the 14th century, includes a two-light southwest window with a square head and a pointed-arched three-light southeast window with tracery similar to that of the chancel's east window. The north arcade, built in the 15th century, consists of three bays with pointed arches. The south porch, dating from the 14th century, has an archway topped by a niche with a later 19th-century figure and small single lights on the west and east elevations. The north aisle, originally from the 15th century, was rebuilt in the 19th century and features a two-light window and three pointed-headed windows.

The west tower, dating from the 14th century and rebuilt in the 15th century, has three stages and an embattled parapet, with an octagonal stair turret at the northeast angle. Each side of the bell-stage has a two-light window with a four-centred head, and there is a small two-light window with a flat head on the middle stage of the south elevation. The lower stage has a three-light west window with a three-centred head.

Inside, the church features 19th-century roofs and a 13th-century octagonal font with paired pointed arches on each face, set on a late 19th-century pedestal. The 15th-century rood screen is now located in the tower arch and retains some original, though worn, painted panels of saints. In the north chapel, there is an alabaster altar-tomb dedicated to Sir Michael Fisher (died 1549) and his wife, topped with recumbent effigies and flanked by crocketed niches with angels holding shields. Traces of paint remain on the shields. Additionally, there is a brass on the north chapel floor from 1528, commemorating John Fisher (son of Michael) and his wife.
