Parish Church Of All Saints

Parish church. The nave dates from the 14th century, with a later west tower and south porch added. The chancel was rebuilt in the 15th century and restored in 1675, evidenced by a dated stone in the east gable wall. A complete restoration occurred in 1868 by Slater. The church is constructed of Weldon limestone rubble with Weldon stone dressings and ashlar facings, and features roofs of plain tiles and lead.

The south elevation showcases a three-stage tower with a moulded plinth and a band of trefoils and quatrefoils at its base. It is topped by a broached octagonal spire. A single trefoiled-light window is found in the second stage, and a belfry window has two trefoiled-transomed lights with a moulded label and grotesque stops. Grotesque heads are present at the base of the broaches to the spire, and there are three tiers of spirelights decreasing in height with gabled heads. The nave has an embattled parapet, with two eastern 14th-century windows of two trefoiled-ogee-lights in a square head with a moulded label and head stops. The western window, dating to around 1340, features three trefoiled ogee lights with flowing tracery and a two-centred head with moulded label and mask-stops. A 14th-century south doorway has a two-centred arch of two moulded orders. The south porch has a two-centred archway of two chamfered orders and a moulded label. The chancel has two similar 15th-century windows of two cinquefoil-lights in a four-centred head with a moulded label. A priest's doorway, restored around 1675, features chamfered jambs and a square moulded label with carved stops.

The interior's tower arch is two-centred with three chamfered orders, with inner orders springing from attached shafts with moulded capitals and bases. The chancel arch is 15th century, with two chamfered orders, the inner springing from attached half-round shafts with moulded capitals and bases. A square-headed squint is set into the south wall, and a doorway in the rood loft staircase projects from the north wall. A seat is formed from the extended sill of the south-east window. The piscina is a reset 13th-century example with shafted jambs and a central shaft with moulded capitals and bases. The font has a plain oval, tapering bowl on a 14th-century octagonal to square base. The font cover is octagonal, pyramidal with a turned finial, dating to the 17th century. A 16th-century north door has battens and strap hinges. The nave roof is dated 1674 and is low-pitched with cambered tie beams and curved braces with trefoiled spandrels, and carved bosses to the tie beams. Fragments of 14th-century glass are found in three nave windows. Monuments and floor slabs are documented by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (RCHM).
