Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church featuring flint and clunch walls with brick and stone dressings, topped with a lead roof. It dates back to the 12th century and has a four-bay nave. The north tower has been reduced in height and now serves as a porch. The outline of a demolished chancel and south transept is still visible. A Norman south doorway is blocked, while an arched door from around 1200 can be found inside the north porch. The nave is buttressed and has two three-light perpendicular windows on both the north and south sides, with a third perpendicular window on the south side that is blocked. The east window is a perpendicular three-light design, and there is a three-light window with "Y" tracery on the west side, both dating from the 17th or 18th century. The tower features a 13th-century entrance arch and a five-sided base for the tower stairs, which has brick quoins.
Inside, there is an octagonal font on a central pedestal, surrounded by a circle of piers with trefoil heads. Some fragments of 15th-century glass can be seen on the north side, along with 15th-century poppyhead benches and a 17th-century pulpit. A Jacobean classical wall monument from 1640 commemorates Mary Calthorpe, featuring a bust rising from a coffin. The roof is match-boarded and supported by iron collars.
