Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church built in 1883, designed by S Wright of Lytham St Anne's following a national competition. It was financed by the Freemasons and supervised by Arthur Field. The church is in the Perpendicular Revival style and features a nave with aisles and a projecting chancel, along with an octagonal tower. The structure is made of red brick with cut-brick dressings and has a plain tile roof with moulded and coped gables, topped with cross finials on the nave.
Notable architectural features include a moulded plinth and cill band, an octagonal south-western tower with a slightly projecting porch that has a pointed shallow arched doorway, above which is an elaborately carved coat-of-arms. The second stage of the tower has a pair of pointed arched blind lancets on each face, while the bell stage features a single pointed arched bell-opening on each of the eight faces, topped by a parapet with quatrefoils. The tower is capped with a lead bell-canted roof surmounted by a cross.
The south wall of the church has five shallow arched three-light windows with cut-brick tracery, and the eastern chancel wall has a similar shallow arched window with five lights. Inside, the church has five bay cut-brick nave arcades supported by quatrefoil piers that hold double chamfered shallow arches, along with a larger chancel arch of the same style. The interior also includes a contemporary wooden rood screen and roofs.
