Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and was restored in the late 1880s. It features a nave and chancel, a west tower, north and south porches, and a south vestry. The building is constructed of random flint rubble with stone dressings, and the nave and chancel were formerly plastered, while the upper part of the tower is rendered. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The late 13th-century tower has a square lower section and an octagonal upper section, topped with a crenellated parapet featuring flushwork panels. The tower has 2-light Y tracery bell chamber openings on alternating faces and a clock face on the south side. The nave and chancel include various 14th and 15th-century windows, most of which have been restored. There is a range of six windows on the south side, one blocked window on the north chancel, and a 19th-century three-light east window in the Decorated style.

The simple 15th-century south porch is made of knapped flint and retains its original door into the nave, while the north porch and vestry were added in the 19th century. The church lacks a chancel arch and features a 19th-century scissor-braced king post roof. Inside, there is a moulded octagonal font, a good set of 30 early 19th-century box pews, late 17th-century turned altar rails, and a late 13th-century double piscina and double sedilia.

On either side of the altar are fine identical canopied pews belonging to the Wingfield family, dating from the late 17th century. Each canopy is supported by Ionic colonnettes and features a frieze with wreaths, paired wings, and cherubs. The Hanoverian Arms, carved in wood, are located over the north doorway, along with nine hatchments. The chancel floor contains effigy brasses for John de Brok (1426), John Wingfield (1584), and Dame Ratcliffe Wingfield (1601). Notable wall monuments include those for Lady Mary Wingfield (1675), featuring a marble tablet with flanking columns, a scrolled pediment, and garlands at the foot; George Richard Savage Nassau (1823); and the Fifth Earl of Rochford (1830). There is also some 14th and 15th-century stained glass. The church is listed as Grade I for its surviving medieval fabric and interior fittings.
