Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building located on Earsham Mill Road. The church likely has a Norman nave that has been enlarged and largely rebuilt, featuring Perpendicular windows on the north and south sides. The chancel dates from around 1300 and includes a doorway and a 2-light window on the north side, as well as a 5-light east window with reticulated tracery. There is a 15th-century north porch with an arch-braced roof, and the north door is decorated with a type of reeding and a narrow band of cusped panels around the edge. The tall west tower has brick battlements above the original battlements, 2-light Y-tracery bell-openings, diagonal buttresses, and a recessed shingled spire.
Inside, the church features a 15th-century arch-braced nave roof and a 15th-century hammerbeam roof in the chancel. There are some box pews on the north side. The church also contains a fine 15th-century octagonal font adorned with the Seven Sacraments and the Crucifixion, as well as a good Victorian octagonal pulpit with traceried panels supported by a cluster of eight small columns. The east and two south windows feature foreign stained glass from the 16th and 17th centuries. Additionally, there are notable 18th and 19th-century tablets on the walls of the nave and chancel, and the churchyard contains headstones and tombs from the 18th and 19th centuries.
