Description

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building, primarily dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, with remnants of an earlier Norman chapel on the south side. It underwent significant restoration in the 19th century by architects Brandon from 1862 to 1866 and Pearson in 1883.

The church is constructed of flint with stone dressings and features a stone battlemented parapet and a slate roof. Its layout includes a four-bay nave with a Perpendicular clerestory, a choir, north and south aisles, transepts, and chapels, forming a cruciform shape with a central tower. The upper part of the tower was rebuilt in brick in 1708, featuring a dipped parapet and pineapple ornaments at the corners.

Inside, the church houses numerous notable monuments and wall tablets, including a seated figure by Chantrey commemorating Countess Louisa Theodosia of Liverpool from 1825, and Flaxman's monument to Philip Meadows from 1795. The church also boasts impressive 19th-century stained glass, including the west window created in 1865 by Lavers and Barrand, as well as the west window in the north aisle and the easternmost window in the south wall of the south chapel, likely by the same makers. Additionally, there are four earlier roundels located in the north aisle.
