Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating from the 14th century, with later rebuilding that was not completed. It is constructed of flint with limestone dressings and features a thatched roof that extends continuously over the nave and chancel. The north aisle roof is felted, while the south porch is tiled. The church comprises a west tower, nave, chancel, south porch, and north aisle.

The squat, square west tower, which was likely never completed, has staged diagonal buttresses with flushwork panels and an embattled parapet that has been partly rebuilt in brickwork. It includes square traceried sound holes and a three-light Perpendicular west window. The south wall features three 2-light windows with 'Y' tracery and one 3-light Perpendicular window, along with two staged buttresses. A small priest's door leads into the chancel, characterized by brick jambs and a four-centred arched head with stops to the hood mould. The east gable is parapeted and has diagonal corner buttresses. An external wall monument to the Ward family is located on the north chancel wall. The north aisle has two-light 'Y' traceried windows and a north doorway with a double chamfered arched head.

Inside, the nave and west tower are no longer aligned, leaving only part of the tower arch exposed. The 14th-century north arcade consists of five bays with double-chamfered arches on octagonal piers; one capital is carved with heads while the others feature foliage. The roofs of the nave and chancel are of crown post construction, with arch braces to the collars and collar-purlin, and scissor-braced rafters. The north aisle roof has arch-braced principal rafters on wall posts, supported by ball-flower corbels, and solid spandrels to the braces. The moulded purlin has carved bosses at the intersections with the principal rafters.

The church also contains a plain octagonal font with traceried panels in the stem, a pulpit with 16th-century traceried panels and an hour-glass stand, and some poppy-head bench ends. One misericord with a carved head survives in the chancel. Additionally, two grave slabs, likely from the 12th century, are set into the west wall of the tower.
