Description

The Church of All Saints is a medieval church that underwent significant alterations in the 19th century. It features a nave, chancel, north-west tower, vestry, and south porch. The building is constructed of flint rubble with limestone dressings, while the tower is made of gault brick. Most of the 19th-century work is done in rounded flints with brick or limestone dressings. The chancel roof is slated, the nave roof is plaintiled on the south side and concrete tiled on the north.

The nave dates back to around 1300 and includes single-light windows on the north and south sides, along with a circular west window that has an inset quatrefoil. There are mid-14th-century north and south nave doorways and a two-light south window that originally had a dropped cill and a shafted rear arch, likely indicating the site of a side altar.

A major restoration took place in 1842, which included the construction of the gault brick tower with rendered Gothic-style openings, a brick spire, and crenellated parapets. The chancel was almost entirely reconstructed, featuring an east window in mid-14th-century style, a roof with a ribbed panelled ceiling, and a moulded cornice. A gabled vestry was also added.

Further alterations in 1873 likely included a scissor-braced coupled rafter nave roof, a west gallery, a south timber-framed open porch with traceried sidelights and carved bargeboards, and a complete internal refitting that included new pews, a pulpit, and a limestone font. A 16th-century pew with crude poppy-head ends is also present, along with some fragments of medieval glass incorporated into early 20th-century work in the east window.
