Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and features slate roofs, along with a lead roof over the north aisle. The church has a four-bay nave and aisles, a southwest tower, and a two-bay chancel. The unbuttressed tower, which serves as the southwest porch, has three stages. The second stage includes rectangular lancets, while the belfry has four two-light windows, three of which feature 13th-century "Y" tracery, and one with two lights and a trefoil in the spandrel. The tower is adorned with quoins, a bell stage stringcourse, and a battlemented parapet.
The west gable of the nave contains a three-light "Y" tracery window from around 1300, and the south aisle features a tower door from the same period. There are three south-facing and one east-facing two-light Decorated 14th-century windows with flowing tracery mouchettes. The north aisle includes a north door from around 1200, one "Y" tracery window from around 1300, and two three-light Perpendicular straight-headed windows. The chancel has a south priest's door and two south-facing 13th-century "Y" tracery windows with internal reveal arches and colonnettes that have bases and capitals. There are also two north-facing 13th-century windows, one of which is blocked, and the other has 19th-century Decorated tracery. The east window features 19th-century Decorated tracery.
Inside, the church has four-bay 14th-century north and south arcades with moulded bases and capitals, octagonal piers, and double hollow chamfered arches. The 14th-century chancel arch is supported by semi-octagonal columns and features a double hollow chamfered arch. The nave roof, which dates from the early 19th century, has king-post struts, while the aisle roofs were added in the mid-19th century. The font is made of stone and is of High Victorian design. The pulpit and reading desk are made of oak and date from 1853. The chancel includes a fine 14th-century sedilia and piscina under a single drip mould, featuring moulded bases and capitals on rounded columns, trefoil cusping, ogee arches, and carved head label stops. The roof of the chancel is early 19th century, and the communion rails were installed in 1853. The stained glass includes windows in the south aisle southeast and east from around 1898, the chancel southwest window from 1869, the southeast window from 1873 in a style close to that of Morris and Co, and the chancel east window from 1884 in the style of C.E. Kempe.
