Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church located in Rocklands, with various construction dates ranging from the 11th to the 15th centuries, and it was restored in 1860. The building is made of flint with ashlar quoins and has slate roofs. It features a west tower, nave, and chancel. The tower, dating from the late 13th century, is built in three stages and has a stair turret on the south side through the first stage. The west door is double chamfered and currently blocked. The second stage has single trefoil and cinquefoil lights beneath square hood moulds, and the belfry windows are two-light cusped, supporting a quatrefoil from the early 14th century.

The nave has long and short quoins at each corner and some flintwork arranged in herringbone patterns, likely from the late 11th century. There are no buttresses. A 13th-century gabled porch made of knapped flint features a parapet, a narrow chamfered door, and an arch under a hood with labels. Above the door is a cinquefoil niche with an ovolo hood. To the west of the porch is one cinquefoil lancet under a hollow hood on beak stops, and to the east is a three-light 15th-century window with a flat top.

On the south side of the chancel, there is a two-light cusped window supporting an encircled petal with a hood from 1860, a plain arched priest's door, and a two-light window similar to that of the nave, along with a reset early 14th-century punched quatrefoil. The east window is three-light and is also under a hood. Inside, there is a tall tower arch, 12 15th-century poppy heads on 19th-century bench ends, a square Norman font, and an Anglo-Saxon tomb slab featuring two Alisee patee crosses connected by a staff with four interlace incised panels between. An octagonal font from 1880 has carved panels, and the roofs were panelled in 1860.
