All Saints Parish Church

The parish church of All Saints dates in part to the 12th century, with substantial additions and alterations spanning the 13th to 16th centuries, and further rebuilding in 1982. The church is constructed of flint and pebble rubble with limestone and clunch dressings, with some plastered external walls, and a red brick memorial chapel. The roofs are tiled, with pantile on the aisles.

The original fabric includes a 12th-century wall on the southwest, a three-bay south arcade, and a fine south doorway. The chancel, from the early 13th century, retains blocked lancet windows. A tower was built in the 15th century, along with a north arcade and aisle, a transept chapel, and a south aisle. The north aisle was substantially rebuilt in 1982. A memorial chapel was added in the mid-16th century.

The three-stage tower has a plain parapet, angle buttresses, and two trefoiled-light belfry windows with a quatrefoil in a two-centred arch. An external door provides access to the belfry staircase. The clerestory has an embattled parapet with six two-cinquefoiled-light windows with four-centred arches. A 12th-century window remains in the nave wall, featuring a lightly carved round-headed arch. The south aisle has a plain parapet enclosing a 15th-century porch and features four three-light windows in flat arches. The memorial chapel has an embattled parapet and three-stage buttresses, with mullioned and transomed windows, some of which have blocked lights.

The south doorway has patterned attached shafts, a round arch with chevron and billet moulding, and a tympanum carved with a depiction of Christ in Majesty, flanked by two carved heads. A modern door incorporates 12th-century ironwork.

Internally, the south arcade is 12th-century, featuring rounded arches and octagonal piers with carved shields above each arch. The north arcade consists of six bays with quatrefoil piers and two-centred arches of two chamfered orders. The nave roof includes braced king posts to the ridge, carved bosses at the intersections of moulded principal rafters, moulded tie beams, carved braces, and a carved cornice. The north aisle roof is supported on corbels carved into the shapes of stone heads, and has moulded principals with bosses. The north transept roof also features carved figure corbels. Two good 15th-century niches are present, one having been relocated. A chancel window is dated 1564. The east window is a modern replacement. Seven hatchments are displayed in the south aisle and against the tower wall, along with weatherings of an early roof. The north chapel and chancel contain notable monuments (Pevsner).
