Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church primarily built in the 13th century, with a belfry added in the late 14th century. It was restored in 1855 and is constructed of flint and chert, featuring Lincolnshire Limestone ashlar dressings and some brick. The church has a thatched roof, with a west tower and a continuous nave and chancel.
The tower is two stages, circular at the base and octagonal at the belfry. It has a two-light 19th-century west window and is offset at the belfry stage. The belfry includes brick quoins and a trefoiled lancet on each face, topped with a crenellated parapet. A gabled south porch is supported by diagonal buttresses and features a double wave moulded arch with a hood mould, along with polygonal responds that have bases and capitals. Above the porch is a blocked statuary niche. To the west of the porch, there is a 14th-century cusped ogee light under a square hood on labels, while to the east are two two-light square-headed 19th-century windows. The chancel has a late 20th-century lancet, a basket arched priests' door, and an early 13th-century trefoiled lancet. Diagonal eastern buttresses flank a three-light 19th-century Perpendicular window, and there is a blind north chancel wall. A brick rood stair excrescence has a repaired 18th-century brick buttress against it, and there are low buttresses to the east of a 19th-century two-light cusped ogee nave window, as well as a second brick and flint buttress to the east of the chamfered north doorway.
Inside, there is a tall chamfered tower arch and a tower west window with a round rere arch. The church features a 19th-century King post roof with straight braces and boarded ashlaring. An octagonal 13th-century font has one trefoiled incised arch on each stem panel and two similar arches on each bowl panel. There are 15th-century benches with poppyheads, two of which have pierced backs. An early 16th-century screen, bequeathed for gidling in 1511, consists of three bays on each side of a cusped ogee opening, with a plain dado and cusped ogee arches below panel tracery in each bay. The chancel has a 19th-century rafter and collar roof, along with 19th-century chancel stalls. A triple aumbry is located in the north wall of the chancel, and there is a round arched piscina in the south wall with broken tracery.
