Description
The Church of All Saints is a redundant parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and some brick dressings, featuring windows that are protected by corrugated iron shutters. The roofs are made of plaintile and corrugated tile. The church has a round western tower, an aisled nave with a south porch, and a chancel with a vestry to the north. The tower, which dates from the 12th century, has a 14th-century bell stage.
The west window is an early Perpendicular style window with two lights, and there is an original loop window on the first floor. The octagonal bell stage has alternating blind and open bell openings, each with two lights, mouchettes, and super mullions. The south aisle was added in the 19th century and features three two-light traceried windows and one three-light window. The north aisle has restored tracery to the north and west, along with a 14th-century three-light cusped Y-traceried east window. The chancel includes two restored two-light windows to the south, one to the north, and a restored four-light reticulated east window. Additionally, fragments of 12th-century chevron and 14th or 15th-century blind tracery have been re-set in the east wall of the south aisle.
Inside, the church features a 12th-century tower arch with nook shafts and an arris roll. The 14th-century arcades consist of three bays with quatrefoil piers and intermediate rolls that support wave-moulded arches of two orders. The chancel arch is in a similar style. There is a former eastern chapel in the south aisle, which has one surviving respond with stiff leaf capitals and a moulded arch springing. The font is plain and octagonal, and there is no furniture present. This building is located in the Stanford Battle Area.
