Description
All Saints Church is a parish church that may contain the remains of a Saxon two-cell church. The nave arcades date from the late 12th century, the windows are from the 13th century, and the tower is from the 15th century, with the entire structure having been extensively restored between 1872 and 1874. It is constructed of Isle of Wight stone rubble and features a tiled roof. The church comprises a nave and aisles, a west tower, and a chancel with north and south chapels.
The central west tower has a 13th-century arched doorway and window below, supported by a giant arch that is part of the 15th-century upper section, which is crenellated and has corner stone finials. The south aisle contains four windows, primarily double lancets with quatrefoils above. There is a 19th-century gabled south porch with kneelers, a cross-shaped saddlestone, and an arched doorcase. The south chapel features one double pointed arched window. The north aisle also has four windows, mainly double lancets, with a quatrefoil and a plain lancet at the end, along with a gabled north porch and a gabled north vestry. The 19th-century chancel includes three double lancets with trefoils.
Inside, the late Norman nave consists of three bays with cylindrical piers and square abaci featuring a slight chamfer, dating from around 1200, and was lengthened by one bay in the 13th century. The transept responds are also from around 1200. The nave has a 19th-century arch-braced roof. There is a 17th-century marble wall plaque in the nave with a skull above and a coat of arms, along with two Georgian wall plaques. The coat of arms of Queen Victoria from 1857 is located over the north porch. The aisles have a 19th-century scissor-braced roof. The south aisle contains a late 14th-century Compton brass depicting a knight with a lion. The south chapel has a late 13th-century tomb recess that is cusped with pierced quatrefoiled circles. The chancel, which was extended in 1872-4, features a Victorian arch-braced roof. There is also a memorial to Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892), who is buried in Westminster Abbey.
