Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church located in Mundesley. It is of medieval origin but was rebuilt in 1904. The building is constructed from quaternary flint and chert, with Lincolnshire limestone and brick dressings, and features a tile roof. The church consists of a nave with a western extension, a south porch, and a chancel.
There is a single bay 19th-century extension to the nave, which has gault brick dressings and diagonal buttresses. The western doorway is framed by a stone surround, and above it is a single light window. To the north, there is a single-storey 20th-century vestry. The nave is buttressed and has four bays with diagonal buttresses, showcasing medieval walling. It includes one restored Y-tracery window and two 19th-century windows with two cusped lights. The north nave features a doorway with continuous moulding that merges into an arch with hollows and rolls, topped with a hood mould. Next to this doorway is a 12th-century lancet light, which is almost blocked by a buttress, along with two 19th-century two-light windows.
The early 20th-century chancel has three bays, each with two-light windows on the south side, and an east window with three lights. The north side of the chancel has no openings. The medieval porch at the first bay of the nave is buttressed and has a single cusped light on both the east and west sides. The eaves have been raised, and the doorway features octagonal shafts and abaci with a chamfered arch, which is now partly blocked and has a 20th-century door. Above the doorway is a niche with a cusped moulded brick head.
Inside, there is a cusped stoup beside the south door and a ramped western gallery. The lancet light in the north nave has a large splay. A piscina is located in the south wall of the nave, and the west wall of the nave is made of red brick, revealed by fallen plaster. The chancel arch has restored polygonal abaci and weathered shafts. A plaque in the chancel commemorates the rebuilding of the chancel by 1914 after a century of deterioration. The church also features a restored rood screen and stair, a Jacobean pulpit with a tester from Sprowston, Norwich, and a 14th-century octagonal font.
