Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building located on Church Lane in Wittering. This church has origins dating back to the Saxon period, featuring a Saxon chancel arch, the south wall of the nave, and the east end of the chancel. The Norman north arcade and the 14th-century north aisle and chapel add to its historical significance, along with the late 13th to early 14th-century west tower.

The tower is constructed of ashlar stone, while the rest of the church is made from coursed stone rubble, topped with a Collyweston stone roof. The nave showcases Saxon long-and-short work at the angles, tall two-light Perpendicular south windows, and a late 13th-century south doorway. The 14th-century north aisle contains a blocked four-centred arch doorway or window, and the north chapel also dates from this period.

The chancel features Saxon long-and-short work in the angles, a late 13th-century south window with plate tracery, and a lancet and two-light east window. The west tower, built in the late 13th to early 14th century, has diagonal buttresses and two-light bell-openings adorned with quatrefoiled circles, topped by a squat stone broach spire with lucarnes. A 19th-century south porch provides access to the church.

Inside, the church has a mid-12th-century two-bay north arcade with a circular pier, square abacus, and scalloped capital. The arches are decorated with roll moulding featuring zig-zag and lozenge patterns. The massive Saxon chancel arch is notable for its roll moulding and large rectangular capitals and abaci. There is a double chamfered arch leading from the chancel to the north chapel, which contains an early 14th-century tomb recess. The church has late 19th-century roofs and furnishings, a squat cylindrical font, and stained glass in the east window created by Kempe in 1903.
