Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to medieval times with additions made in 1853. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and some brick dressings, topped with plaintiled roofs. The church features a west tower, a nave that includes a north chapel from 1853, a south porch, and a chancel. The unbuttressed west tower has its upper half rebuilt in 1853 and displays a badly worn carving of a griffon in a brick niche on its west face.
On the south side of the nave, there are two Perpendicular windows: one with three lights and another with two lights, both featuring mouchettes below 4-centred arches. The north chapel contains two similar 2-light windows that have been re-set. The chancel has four 2-light windows, likely restorations, and a 3-light Y-traceried east window, which probably dates from the 18th century.
The nave and chancel roofs, which date from the 15th century, are arch-braced and feature roll-moulded wall-plates with single rolls flanked by hollow chamfers on the principal beams. In the chancel, there are four carved corbels depicting angels carrying shields that support the two trusses above the window openings. Additionally, the chancel includes a piscina with a cusped head.
