Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later, constructed of flint with stone dressings and a plain tile roof. The building features a west tower, a south porch, a nave, a chancel, and a north vestry. The two-stage tower has a base course, stepped diagonal buttresses, and a polygonal stair turret on the south side. The base course and the battlemented parapet display flushwork. The west window is a three-light design with Decorated tracery, while the sound holes are covered by a stone screen with quatrefoil perforations and a cusped head, topped with a rectangular hood mould. The belfry has two-light openings with reticulated tracery, and there are gargoyles at the angles of the string course below the parapet.
The south porch is rendered and features diagonal buttresses, with blocked north and south windows that have rectangular heads. The gable of the parapet has eaves and peak finials. The nave consists of three bays, with a north door and a three-light Perpendicular window featuring a Tudor arch, alongside a three-light Reticulated window. The south side includes a Perpendicular door and a three-light Decorated window with petal tracery, as well as another three-light Perpendicular window with a Tudor arch. The first three-quarters of the nave wall shows evidence of coursed flintwork, which coincides with the absence of quoins.
The chancel has three bays and a 19th-century lean-to north vestry. On the north wall, there is a single-light window with a cusped head and a rectangular hood mould. The central priest's door on the south side is flanked by two-light windows with 'Y' tracery, and there is a 19th-century three-light window in Perpendicular style. The chancel features parapet gables with cross apex finials. The interior is mainly from the 19th century, with a 13th-century dropped sill sedilia and a double-arched piscina made of Purbeck marble columns with stiff leaf capitals located in the south chancel wall. There is a squint with a semi-circular arch above the tower arch, and a 15th-century boarded door leads to the tower stairs, which has a brick rib vault inside. The church also retains a medieval timber bell frame.
