Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and was restored in 1922. It features a nave, chancel, and a south porch, although the west tower collapsed in 1805. The building is constructed from random flint and stone rubble, mostly plastered, with stone dressings. The nave has a leaded roof, while the chancel is covered with plain tiles.

The 15th-century nave includes two identical two-light square-headed windows on the south side and a three-light window along with a later two-light wooden window with square leaded glass on the north side. There is also a moulded doorway, likely from the 13th century. The south porch is a notable feature with panelled flushwork on the facade and plinth, an entrance arch with a hoodmould and carved spandrels, and an empty canopied niche above. The original side windows remain intact. The nave doorway is decorated with fleurons and retains its original door.

The early 14th-century chancel has two original two-light windows on the south side and a 16th-century brick priest's doorway, along with a lancet window on the north side. The east window is a fine original three-light window with flowing tracery. The nave features a 15th-century hammerbeam roof with a carved wallplate and cornice, along with pierced tracery above the hammerbeams and collars.

Inside, there is a 15th-century octagonal font with a 17th-century cover, and a set of 16 poppyhead bench ends from the 15th century, although most of the benches are modern. The 17th-century turned altar rails and a 14th-century angle piscina are located in the south sanctuary. On either side of the east window are 18th-century framed copies of the Commandments. In the early 1960s, three painted consecration crosses were uncovered in the north and south chancel and south nave. The wooden reredos includes carved woodwork from the rood screen and pulpit, with the reredos stored in the west nave at the time of the survey. The church is listed as Grade I for its surviving medieval work.
