Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the 13th century and has undergone later alterations. It is constructed from flint, carstone, and some Sandringham sandstone, featuring stone dressings and a renewed roof of pantiles with an oversailing brick cornice. The church comprises a west tower, nave, chancel, and a south porch.

The tower has a pyramidal tiled roof without a parapet and is supported by two massive diagonal brick buttresses from the 16th century, which display a diaper patterning. The west window, dating from the 13th century, features cusped Y tracery with carstone above it, while the bell stage is set back and has a single lancet window on each face, with the eastern window blocked. The south porch was rebuilt in the 19th century, constructed mainly of carstone with a flint south face and a tiled roof. It has diagonal buttresses and a plain chamfered arch with a niche above, flanked by two 15th-century cusp-headed lights under a square hood. The plain south doorway features a pointed segmental arch with a hood mould.

On the south side of the nave, there are two three-light windows with panel tracery and a four-centred arch, featuring grille leaded panes and brick panels below the lights, along with two brick buttresses. The north side of the nave has five stepped brick buttresses and a chamfered brick cap to the plinth. There is a blocked north doorway with a four-centred arch, hood mould, and brick dressings, as well as three 19th-century two-light windows with panel tracery set within blocked Tudor arches made of brick voussoirs. To the east of the nave, there is a blocked opening.

The chancel was rebuilt in the 19th century using varied stone rubble, including reused limestone, and features diagonal buttresses and cusped single lights—two on the south and one on the north. The east window is a 19th-century three-light window with panel tracery. There is a 14th-century priest's door on the south side with a hood mould, and a 19th-century vestry to the north that incorporates part of a lava grindstone.

Inside, the tower arch is plain and pointed with thick flat reveals, while the rest of the interior is entirely from the 19th century and lacks any features of special interest.
