Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church, largely built in the Decorated style around 1300, with early 19th-century roofs and a bell cote. It is constructed from flint with some carstone rubble and features stone dressings and slated roofs. The church consists of a nave and chancel, which formerly included a north aisle, a nave clerestorey, and a west tower. The west front was likely altered after the demolition of the round tower in 1785, showcasing a Decorated door and a three-light window with reticulated tracery, along with set-off angle buttresses. The stock brick bell cote dates from around 1800.
On the south side of the nave, there is one four-light Decorated window and one three-light Perpendicular window. A blocked south door shows the outline of a former porch roof. Two buttresses are located at the junction of the nave and chancel, which contain the rood stairs. The north side of the nave features two re-used three-light Perpendicular windows that have been built up in the former north arcade. The filled-in clerestorey openings can be seen below the brick modillion eaves of the 1800 roof.
The chancel's south side includes one three-light and one two-light Decorated window, as well as a three-light straight-headed Decorated window. There is a south priest's door and a single buttress. On the north side of the chancel, there is a two-light straight-headed Decorated window with a drip mould and label stops. A single-storey gabled north vestry was added in the mid-19th century. The east gable of the chancel is supported by two set-off angle buttresses and features a five-light east window with Decorated reticulated tracery.
Inside, the nave has a filled-in five-bay north arcade with octagonal piers and double hollow chamfered arches. The chancel arch is adorned with semi-octagonal half-columns and battlemented collars, along with a double hollow chamfered arch. The chancel also has a north weeping feature with a circa 1300 double piscina, which has cusped ogee arches, and sedelia with cinquefoil ogee arches. A screen was added in 1877. The nave roof, dating to around 1800, has open rafters and tie beams, while the chancel roof, from the mid-19th century, is coved and boarded. The font was also added in the mid-19th century.
