Description
The Parish Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building, dating from the early 14th century and restored by R.M. Phipson in 1879. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and features both lead and plain tile roofs. The church includes a west tower, nave, south aisle, south porch, chancel, and south choir chapel.
The west tower has a base course, diagonal stepped buttresses, and a stair turret. It features a west window that is a single light with a transom above a cusped niche, a sound hole, and a two-light belfry opening adorned with reticulated tracery and a parapet above. The three-bay nave has 19th-century two-light windows in the north wall. The four-bay south aisle includes an early 14th-century doorway with a hood mould decorated with fleurons and carved heads for label stops, along with three 19th-century two-light windows.
The south porch has a Perpendicular doorway with attached shafts, and there are two-light windows on the north and south sides with rectangular heads and hood moulds. The church features a parapet and a flush work base course. In the chancel, there is a two-light 19th-century window on the north wall and a four-light east window. A re-located priest's door in the 19th-century south choir aisle wall has keel mouldings, and there is a 19th-century four-light east window. The parapet gables are adorned with carved stone kneelers.
Inside, the church is mainly 19th-century in style. The early 14th-century south door features intersecting tracery, with a piscina to its left. There is a 19th-century four-bay arched piscina in the chancel. The south aisle's east window contains Morris glass designed by Burne-Jones. A monument to George Warren, who died in 1728, is created by James Barrett and features a Corinthian column in front of a black obelisk. The octagonal font bowl, possibly from the 13th century, rests on five columns, and some medieval bench ends with poppyheads can be found in the nave and chancel.
