Description
The Church of All Saints, built in 1853 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, is a Gothic church constructed from flint and stone. It features plain tile roofs with decorative fish-scale bands. The layout includes a nave, chancel, lean-to aisle, west tower, and south porch. The tower is plain and square, rising from the roof with a coped parapet at the ridge level of the nave. It has a narrow shingled bell-stage with gabled bell-openings that lead into a slim broach spire, also shingled. The church has two-light windows with trefoil and quatrefoil heads, with larger and more elaborate windows in the chancel, all featuring hood moulds.
There are angle buttresses with stone set-offs, and a gabled timber south-west porch that is tiled and has cusped bargeboards. Above the porch are two carved stone roundels depicting angels carrying scrolls. The west end has two heavy buttresses flanking a long two-light window. Inside, the church has a three-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with round columns supporting the south arcade. The tower and chancel arches are moulded and rest on carved corbels. The roofs are open timber, with a scissor truss in the chancel and an arch-braced collar-truss with crown-post and upper scissor rafters in the nave.
The stone pulpit and font date from around 1853, while the painted wood retable is in a 14th-century Italian style and was added later in the 19th century. The chancel and south aisle glass, created by Wailes, dates from around 1853-1860, and the patterned glass in the west window is also from around 1853.
