Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period. It is constructed from flint and iron-bound conglomerate, with stone and brick dressings, and features a slate roof. The church includes a west tower, a nave with a south aisle, a continuous chancel, a south porch, and a schoolroom. The round tower, dating from around 1300, has a wide flint base and a blocked brick doorway on the south side, along with Y-tracery bell openings. The nave has conglomerate quoins at the north-west and south-west corners.
The south aisle is supported by diagonal buttresses that feature flushwork and sunk panels. Historical references from the 1440s mention the construction of this aisle. There is one 19th-century two-light Decorated window and one late medieval triangular-headed two-light window, both made with alternating brick and flint voussoirs. The nave has two 19th-century two-light windows on the north side, one of which is under a square head. The chancel is unbuttressed and lacks a window on the south side, but has a schoolroom added to the north in 1835. The east window is a 19th-century two-light Decorated style. The south porch was restored in 1893, and its doorway to the nave features a four-centred arch with a hood mould.
Inside, the church has a south arcade supported by octagonal piers and a piscina in the south chapel. The nave roof was installed in 1896, and there is a doorway leading into the tower. The lower part of a 15th-century rood screen is present, now varnished. The pulpit, which has a tester, dates to 1624. The benches have flattened stylised poppy heads, with one featuring a coat of arms on the shoulder, incorporated into a box pew, and one door has butterfly hinges. There is a brass memorial to John Puttok, who died in 1442, and his wife, who died in 1469. The church also has a plain octagonal font.
