Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period. It is constructed of flint and ironbound conglomerate with stone dressings, topped with slate and pantile roofs. The church features a west tower, a nave, a chancel, and a south porch. The round tower, likely from the 13th century, is embattled and has a small round-headed opening to the west with conglomerate dressings. The tower includes bell-openings with cusped Y-tracery.
In the nave, the south wall has two restored 19th-century windows with two cusped lights and quatrefoils in the heads, along with a three-light square-headed window featuring panel tracery. The north wall has a blocked doorway with a hood mould and three similar windows. The chancel walls include some conglomerate stone, diagonal buttresses, and a 19th-century brick buttress on the south side. There is one Y-tracery window and one restored cusped Y-tracery window in the chancel, along with a restored east window of three lights with Decorated tracery.
The south porch is two stories tall and has diagonal buttresses, with a stair turret to the west that features slit lights. The south face of the porch is made of knapped flint and has a continuous chamfer to the archway, with alternate flint and conglomerate voussoirs. Above the archway is a niche flanked by single lights, all under a hood mould, and a quatrefoil light under a hood mould above that. The nave doorway also has a continuous chamfer.
Inside, the nave roof was replaced in 1856, and the chancel arch has two continuous chamfered orders. There is a lancet piscina in the chancel and a fine 15th-century font for the seven sacraments. A blocked four-centred arch that once led to a rood-loft can also be found.
