Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating back to the 12th century, with a late 13th-century chancel and 15th-century additions and remodelling. It is constructed of flint with limestone dressings, with thatched roofing on the nave and chancel, and pantiles on the porch. The church comprises a west tower, nave, chancel, and a north porch.

The west tower is square, with diagonal buttresses. The base of the tower features a diagonal chequerwork pattern in flushwork and stone, while the upper band is blind arcading also in flushwork. The tower has square-headed openings with ogee cusped decoration, and two-light bell openings with elliptical arched heads. A parapet of flushwork arcading with polygonal corner piers tops the tower. The original Norman south door retains two orders of shafts with cushion capitals, and arches decorated with bobbin, volute, and zigzag motifs. The nave has tall two-light windows with Perpendicular tracery and stilted hood moulds, with staged buttresses dividing the bays. A renewed high-level window is located at the south-east corner of the nave, above a polygonal projection with a plain tiled roof. The chancel has a two-light 15th-century window, a two-light 13th-century window with cusped 'Y' tracery, a plain round-headed priest’s door, and a restored three-light Perpendicular east window. A blocked lancet and a two-light window with cusped 'Y' tracery are set into the north chancel wall.

The elaborate north porch, dating to the 15th century, has a gable wall of flushwork with decorative brickwork in the gable apex. The entrance arch features spandrels with shields, and the gable has diagonal buttresses. Windows on the east and west sides are square-headed and two-light. The north doorway is adorned with a hood mould supported by angel corbels, angels in the spandrels, and a figure at the arch apex.

Inside, the nave roof is boarded and the chancel roof is plastered, both with moulded cornices. A 15th-century screen with one-light divisions, crocketted gables, and original colour and trail decoration separates the nave and chancel. The chancel arch has tall attached shafts. The chancel contains a wall monument to Margaret Denny (died 1717), featuring a drapery cartouche with arms, and a classical monument to Ann Denny (died 1665), with a broken scrolled pediment and arms. Several 17th-century memorial slabs are set into the chancel floor, commemorating members of the Denny family. A wall painting depicting a large figure of St. Christopher is located on the north wall of the nave. The 15th-century font is octagonal, standing on a step, and features four lions around the stem, angels with outspread wings forming the corbel below the bowl, and alternating shields and roses around the bowl.
