Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church largely dating from the mid to late 14th century, with restorations in 1886 and 1891, including to the chancel and windows. It is constructed of fieldstone with clunch dressings, the clunch now replaced by limestone, and has tiled roofs. The church comprises a three-stage west tower, a nave, a south porch, north and south aisles, a south chapel, and a chancel.

The west tower is embattled with a plinth to five-stage diagonal buttresses. A newel staircase is situated in the south-east angle. The west window is restored. The bell chamber has 14th-century openings of two cinquefoil openings within a two-centred head. Beast gargoyles are located on the corners of the cornice. The spire is constructed of limestone ashlar with two tiers of gabled lucarnes. The nave is also of fieldstone with limestone dressings, and the south aisle features two-stage angle buttresses and restored reticulated tracery to 14th-century windows. The south porch was rebuilt in the 19th century. The south chapel, also 14th century, has been restored and reroofed in the 19th century, with some brick to the upper courses. It has a two-stage splayed plinth. The chancel features a low side window in a two-centred arch and a south doorway with two ogee moulded orders.

The interior nave arcade is from the 14th-15th centuries, comprising four bays with two wave-moulded orders to two-centred arches on octagonal columns with moulded capitals and bases. The north aisle has 15th-16th century crown posts to a lean-to roof. The south chapel contains monuments to the Hatton family, including an alabaster tomb chest with effigies of Sir Thomas Halton (died 1658) and his wife Lady Mary, attributed to E. Marshall, and a canopy of 1770. In the north aisle is a reset box pew of late 16th-century oak, with sunken panelling, a frieze of fruit and foliage, a dentil cornice, and jewelled work to the pilasters. The chancel has 14th-century sedilia in three bays with cusped ogee arches within a square head. There are wide blank arches to the north and south walls of the chancel, possibly originally for chapels. A 15th-century octagonal font has traceried panels to the sides. A 19th-century funeral bier is located in the north aisle, and two 16th-17th-century oak chests reside in the south aisle.
