Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church primarily built in the 14th century, featuring a Decorated style. It is constructed from flint with stone dressings and has slated roofs. The church includes a west tower, a nave, a south porch, and a chancel. The three-stage west tower has set-off buttresses on the west face only and a lozenge-shaped west window with four petal flower tracery. There is a blocked low-sided window on the south and a lancet window above it. The bell-stage contains four "Y" tracery windows and has a partly brick parapet.

The nave is two bays long and has two "Y" tracery windows with sub-cusping. The chancel, which is also two bays on the south and north sides, features cusped "Y" tracery windows only on the south side. The south porch has windows on both the north and south sides, as well as doors with sunk quadrant mouldings; the north door is blocked. There is a priest's door and a blocked arched niche on the south side of the chancel. The east window of the chancel is partly blocked and reduced in size, with a mid-19th century two-light window inserted; the north window of the chancel is also blocked. The church has low-pitched 19th-century roofs, although an earlier taller pitch roof-line is visible on the east face of the tower.

Inside, there is a tall Decorated tower arch that is double chamfered towards the nave. A fireplace in the tower features a re-used Norman pillar piscina with a scallop capital. On the north side of the nave, there is a wall painting of St. Christopher dating from around 1330. A blocked round arched opening exists between two south side windows, and there is a blocked door below the north side window by the chancel arch. The double chamfered Decorated chancel arch has a niche with a sub-cusped ogee head on the south side. Behind the arch within the chancel, there is a blocked arched squint that was formerly open to the south. The southeast window has remains of window embrasure sedilia. There is a good Decorated ogee-headed sub-cusped piscina with a surviving credence shelf and a scalloped-out soak-away. The 19th-century altar rails incorporate possibly 15th-century wooden tracery. The font is a 13th-century octagonal Purbeck-type stone font, featuring two shallow blank pointed arches on each face, a rounded bowl, an octagonal base, and a shaft with 20th-century repairs in cement. The nave roof is a simple mid to late 19th-century tie-beam design, while the chancel roof is boarded.
