Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church built between 1857 and 1858 by Benjamin Ferrey, with a vestry added in 1890 and a west porch added in 1899 by Sir Arthur Blomfield. It is designed in the Early English style and constructed from coursed rubble Kentish ragstone with freestone dressings. The roof is tiled, featuring bands of plain and fishscale tiles. The church includes a nave, aisles, a chancel with shorter aisles, north and west porches, a north aisle chapel, a south aisle organ chamber, and a south tower topped with a spire.

The south tower has two stages, with paired arched openings in the bell stage and a stone spire with lucarns. The west front features a triple trefoliated window with quatrefoil motifs and a sexfoil above it. The west porch has a central arched doorway flanked by lancets. Each aisle contains one double arched trefoliated window with a quatrefoil above. The south aisle has three windows: two paired trefoils with a quatrefoil above and a central arched window with a triple trefoil, partially obscured by the 1890 flat-roofed vestry, which has three bays with trefoil windows. The north aisle has four arched windows, two of each type. The north porch has a large gable with a quatrefoil window and arched entrance, alongside a smaller gable with a trefoil. The chancel's east end features a large arched window with hoodmoulding above five lancets and three circular openings above, with quatrefoil windows on the sides. The chancel aisles have an east arched window with triple lancets and two quatrefoils above, along with paired lancets on the north and south.

Inside, the church has a five-bay nave with an arcade made up of chamfered piers with stiffleaf capitals. The roof is of the arch-braced type with queen struts. It retains original pews, a hexagonal carved pulpit featuring figures of the Evangelists, and a column-shaped stone font with a font cover from 1917. The chancel includes Murano mosaics dating from around 1880 and a memorial screen from 1919. The stained glass in the north aisle chapel was created by Martin Travers.
