Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church with a medieval core, but it was largely rebuilt in 1853-1854, with the exception of the tower, by architect J. Johnson of Bury St Edmunds. The church features a nave, chancel, north aisle, south porch, and a west tower. A church room was added around 1970 on the south side, which is detached except for a linking corridor. The building is constructed of flint rubble with freestone dressings and has plaintiled roofs with parapet gables; the aisle roof is low-pitched behind the parapets.
The round tower, likely from the 13th century, has two main stages and is supported by large 15th-century buttresses and features a two-light west window. The belfry stage was rebuilt in the early 19th century with gault brick windows. Fragments of the medieval structure remain, including a reset 12th-century round-arched doorway with shallow decoration in the north aisle wall. The church has early 15th-century two-light windows in both the nave and aisle, which have been extensively restored. The chancel contains 14th and 15th-century windows, mostly renewed in the 19th century, but the east window retains early 15th-century grotesque hood-mould stops.
The chancel and tower arches have shafts and capitals from the early and late 15th century, and the tower includes a 15th-century ringing floor. There is an early 15th-century south nave doorway, a 19th-century scissor-braced nave roof designed in the style of the 14th century, and a 19th-century canted and panelled chancel roof. The porch was also added in the 19th century, designed to resemble the 15th century.
