Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with a tower dating from the late 15th century. The original nave and chancel were built in the 14th century but were completely rebuilt around 1889 by F. Barnes, who reused the old materials. The church's walls are made of rubble and are faced externally with Portland cement, flint, stone, and septaria. The south porch is constructed of oak, while the roofs of the nave, chancel, and porch are covered with plain tiles. The tower is made of red brick and features a diamond diaper pattern of dark headers, diagonal stepped buttresses on the west front, and right-angled buttresses at the rear. A projecting enclosure on the south side of the tower indicates the bell chamber stair. The south doorway is from the 14th century and has a moulded ogee arch. Inside, the nave has a king post roof and the chancel features a wagon roof, both part of the 1889 rebuilding. The font, dating from the 13th to 14th century, has a square bowl supported by a central pillar and four corner pillars on a cushion-shaped base. There is a Jacobean communion table, and a stained glass window salvaged from the earlier church has been rebuilt into the south wall of the chancel. The north wall of the nave displays the Royal Arms of George III. The tower is listed as Grade II*.
