Parish Church Of All Saints

The parish church of All Saints is a medieval building with later alterations, situated on Church Street in Horsford. Constructed primarily of flint, with brick rendering and stone dressings, the roof is a mix of pantiles and thatch. The church comprises a west tower, north aisle, south porch, nave, and chancel.

The west tower, dating from 1456, is three stages high with diagonal buttresses and a stair turret to the northeast. It features a two-light Perpendicular window on the west side, squared traceried sound holes with hood moulds, two-light bell openings with Reticulated tracery, and a battlemented flushwork parapet.

The north aisle was constructed in 1869, with gabled ends to the east and west. It has three bays featuring rectangular-headed windows of two and three lights with Reticulated style tracery and parapet gables. A 20th-century boiler house adjoins its west end. A 13th-century doorway is located at the west end of the nave. The south porch is a 19th-century addition in Perpendicular style.

The nave is four bays wide, with three-light Perpendicular windows, some of which appear heavily restored, featuring rectangular heads and flowing tracery incorporating a central quatrefoil. The chancel is mostly rendered and bears the date 1705 in the flintwork of the gable. It has a double lancet to the north, stepped three-light lancets to the east, a central southern priest's door with a small chamfered rectangular window to the west, and parapet gables.

The interior is largely 19th century. The tower arch is composed of three elements, suggesting at least two phases of construction. A 15th-century stair tower door retains studded cover strips. A stoup is positioned to the east of the south door. The church has a 19th-century three-bay north arcade and scissor trussed roofs. A 19th-century chancel arch is also present. Inside the north chancel wall is a tomb recess. A 13th-century piscina with a cusped head, a stone battlemented candle holder on the north wall, and a heavily restored 15th-century screen are also notable features. 20th-century altar rails incorporate late 17th-century stair balusters. A 12th-century font has a rectangular bowl of Purbeck marble with a blind arcade on five columns and a modern base. Medieval glass fragments are located in a south nave window. A south-east nave window was created by Zettler of Munich around 1893. A wall monument to Jane Maria Day, who died in 1777, is by J. Wilton, depicting an urn on a plinth with a wreath. Records show bequests from 1447, 1457, 1471, and 1473 designated "for Reparation of Church and Tower."
