Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church primarily dating from the 13th century, with extensive restorations carried out between 1891 and 1893 by H.J. Green, the Diocesan architect. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and features some brick repairs. The church has a thatched roof and includes a west tower, a nave, and a ruined chancel.
The west tower is a three-stage structure without buttresses, featuring a 19th-century two-light window with Y tracery on the west side. There is a blocked ringing chamber window on the south side and two cusped two-light belfry windows from the 14th century. The tower has string courses between its storeys and is topped with a crenellated parapet. The south porch is gabled and supported by diagonal buttresses, with a wave and hollow moulded arch beneath the hood on labels. The inner doorway is hollow chamfered and has a hood. To the west of the porch is a 19th-century two-light Y window, while the east side has two three-light cusped square-headed windows. The north side features one two-light Y window and a north doorway similar to the inner south doorway. There is also a two-light window from around 1300, with lights that terminate in rounded trefoil heads and support an encircled quatrefoil. The east window has no tracery, while a three-light cusped square-headed window from the 19th century is located to the east. The nave's west wall was rebuilt in brick during the restoration, and the south chancel wall has two two-light Y windows, one of which has been altered to form an entrance. The north chancel wall has two stepped buttresses and one two-light square-headed window.
Inside, there is a tall tower arch and an octagonal Purbeck marble font from the 13th century, featuring two trefoil-headed arches on each bowl facet, a drum stem, and orbiting columns on water-holding bases. The roof is boarded and dates from the 19th century, with tie beams on arched braces. The south wall contains a trefoiled piscina from the 13th century, while the late 16th-century pulpit is octagonal and has a tester. The pulpit features plain panels with a reading platform supported on scrolled brackets, and the tester is adorned with ball finials.
