Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints in Ashwellthorpe is a Grade I listed building with origins dating back to the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. The late 13th-century west tower features diagonal buttresses and a later embattled parapet made of brick and flint chequerwork. It includes a 13th-century two-light west window and two-light bell-openings adorned with Y tracery. The early 14th-century chancel has a three-light east window with an ogee arch. The nave is notably tall, with large Perpendicular-style north and south windows. The south porch, dating from the 15th century, has niches flanking the entrance and a segmental brick gable from around 1700. The north chapel is likely from the 15th century. The church is constructed of flint rubble with stone dressings, partly rendered, and has slate roofs. Inside, there is a remarkable alabaster tomb from 1417 dedicated to Sir Edmund de Thorpe, featuring effigies. Additionally, there is an octagonal font from 1660 and a traceried base of a screen. The churchyard contains 18th and early 19th-century headstones, mostly located to the south of the church.
