Church Of All Saints, Beighton

The Church of All Saints in Beighton is a parish church with fabric dating mainly to the 14th and 15th centuries, significantly altered in the 19th century. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1854 and the upper stage of the west tower in 1882 by A.S. Hewitt. The church is constructed of flint with limestone dressings, with a red brick east wall to the nave. The nave roof is thatched, while all other roofs are slated.

The church comprises a west tower, nave, chancel, north and south aisles, a south porch, and a north vestry. The west tower is square with staged buttresses, partially rebuilt in brick. It features 19th-century Decorated bell openings with pierced stone screens. The tower's stepped parapet is of stone with flushwork panels dated 1890, featuring castellated corner piers with figure pinnacles. A polygonal stair turret is located on the south side. The tower has a single light in its west window. Windows are generally 19th-century replacements in a Decorated style. The nave clerestory has three 2-light windows with eaves swept over the window heads. The north and south aisles each have three 2-light windows. Flushwork is visible in the south nave and aisle walls. The north and south chancel windows are three 2-light bays, divided by staged buttresses with gabled tops. A 14th-century priest's door is in the south wall, with head-stops to the hood mould. The east window is a four-light window. The former north porch has been converted into a vestry, featuring diagonal buttresses to the gable and a small cusped niche. A chimney pot sits on the ridge line, and a 2-light window is found in the west wall. To the west of the south porch, an 18th-century monument is set into the wall below a window, the inscription being largely indecipherable. A 14th-century south doorway is present.

The north and south arcades each consist of four bays, with octagonal piers and double-chamfered arches. The tower arch is on half-piers, and eastern corner buttresses of the tower project into the nave. The nave has a single framed roof with scissor bracing. The chancel and aisle roofs are 19th-century, featuring roll-moulded principals and boarded ceilings. The chancel screen is much restored but retains some 15th-century work, particularly the carved middle rail. The chancel stalls have figure carvings. The south wall of the chancel contains a 14th-century piscina and triple stepped sedilia, all with crocketed ogee heads. The piscina has a cusped arch facing the south aisle. A painted consecration cross is in the south wall of the aisle. There is a stoup by the south door. Some 15th-century poppyhead bench ends are in the nave, displaying animal carvings. A 13th-century octagonal font, with two shallow pointed arches in each face, a large central stem, and eight plain shafts, is also present.
