Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church built of flint with stone dressings, featuring a slated nave and leaded chancel roofs. The church dates back to around 1300, with north and south nave doors from that period. The south wall of the nave includes one simple lancet window, one cusped lancet, and one paired cusped lancet. The south porch has some 16th-century brick dressings and a brick arch. The north wall of the nave has two simple lancets, two straight-headed Perpendicular windows, one cusped lancet, and one re-cut triangular-headed paired window. The chancel's south side features one straight-headed two-light Perpendicular window and one lancet, along with a priest's door from around 1300. The east window of the chancel is a three-light Perpendicular window, and there is one lancet on the north wall of the chancel. The west tower, dating from the 14th century, is cut off above squared quatrefoiled sound-holes on three sides and has a triple paired lancet west window, along with angle buttresses and a south stair turret made of partly squared and knapped flint. The tower has a hipped roof.
Inside, the church features 14th-century tower and chancel arches on responds, with carved brackets for statues flanking the chancel arch. The stone Norman font is supported by a base of five columns with bases and capitals, and the bowl has corner colonnettes, lion masks, and strap work panels. The nave roof, dating from the 18th century, has butt-purlins, wind-braces, and collars, while the more elaborate chancel roof, possibly from the 17th century, features massive tie-beams and arched braced crown post struts with through purlins. There are mid-17th-century baluster communion rails, a wall tablet from 1620 made of alabaster in a classical style, and a rood screen added in 1917. The royal arms of George III, dating before 1802, can be found in the nave.
