Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and was restored in the mid and late 19th century. It features a nave, chancel, south aisle, west tower, and a north porch that now serves as the vestry. The building is constructed from random flint rubble with stone dressings; the nave, chancel, and aisle are rendered, while the nave has a slated roof and the chancel has a plain-tiled roof.

The 14th-century tower has two diagonal buttresses with niches at the base and a flat parapet. It includes a west doorway, a two-light west window, and openings for a two-light bell chamber. The north nave features two 15th-century square-headed two-light windows and a blocked 15th-century porch, along with a 12th-century north doorway. The late 15th or early 16th-century south aisle has four bays with three-light windows and a doorway to the west bay.

Part of the chancel has a 12th-century core, which was extended to the east in the late 13th or early 14th century. To the north, there is one lancet window and one 15th-century square-headed two-light window; to the south, there are two similar square-headed windows and a Priest's doorway, along with a 15th-century three-light east window. The church features a four-bay aisle arcade and a notable 15th-century six-bay single hammerbeam nave roof with a moulded wall plate and carved cornice, although the wall posts and their braces are missing on the south side. The four-bay aisle roof has carved wall posts and bosses.

Inside, there is a 15th-century octagonal font with a 17th-century cover, and poppyhead benches in the nave and aisle, about half of which are 15th-century originals while the rest are 19th-century copies. A west gallery is located in the tower arch, and in the northwest nave, there is part of the dado from the 15th-century rood screen, which includes ten painted panels in poor condition. The rood beam remains in place along with the framework for the tympanum. An early 17th-century pulpit is present, and on the south wall of the aisle, there is a late 14th-century fragment of alabaster carving depicting the Incredulity of St. Thomas. The south chancel contains a 13th-century angle piscina and sedilia, and there is one hatchment on the north chancel wall. The church is listed as Grade I for its surviving medieval work.
