Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church largely of the mid-14th century, although there is evidence of an earlier church on the same site. It was restored around 1853. The church is constructed of flint clunch rubble, with elements of pebblestone, dressed clunch and limestone, and has a slate and plain tiled roof. The building is planned with a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, a north porch and a chancel.

The west tower is of three stages and sits on a splayed plinth with an embattled parapet and clasping buttresses. A restored 15th-century two-light west window incorporates vertical tracery. The bell stage has single cinquefoil openings in two-centred arches on each side. The nave has a restored 15th-century clerestory with five two-light windows on each side, also featuring an embattled parapet. The south aisle is narrower than the north aisle and was likely rebuilt on the site of part of an earlier medieval church. The 15th-century south doorway has a hollow moulded two-centred arch set within a square head, with foliated spandrels. The three south aisle windows are in a 15th-century style, their dripmoulds and masks being original. The chancel was entirely rebuilt in 1853. A 15th-century embattled north porch retains its original roof and features hollow mouldings to its outer two-centred archway.

Inside, the walls are of dressed clunch, and the mouldings of the tower arch, north and south nave arcades, and chancel arch are similar. The nave arcades consist of five bays, with two-centred arches of wave moulded orders; the outer order is continuous and the inner orders rest on attached columns with moulded two-stage bell-shaped bases and octagonal capitals. The crown post roof, with arch bracing to the tie-beams, is of the 15th century, supported by large corbels carved with figures. A 15th-century rood loft staircase is located north of the chancel arch; it is octagonal with a pyramidal roof. There are 14th-century piscinas in the north and south aisles. The pulpit is late 15th century and has been repaired; it is octagonal with a door on one side, featuring ogee arched panels and small buttress pilasters to the corners.
