Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating back to around 1340, with a west tower from the early 15th century. Porches and a vestry were added around 1870, and the nave underwent significant restoration and its clerestory was rebuilt at the same time. The chancel walls are constructed of ashlar stone, while the rest of the building is of coursed rubble. The chancel has a tile roof, and the remainder of the church is slate-covered.

The chancel has a five-light east window and two three-light windows on each side, all featuring Decorated tracery with flowing ogee patterns. A plain plinth, moulded sill, string course, and a moulded cornice adorned with flowers, grotesque heads, and hearts run around the chancel. Buttresses are present, with those at the east angles having gabled heads, topped with square pinnacles featuring crocketed gables and traceried sides. Niches with trefoil pointed heads and gabled labels sit below the pinnacles. The nave has porches dating from around 1870, and three-light windows with Victorian Decorated tracery, although the original medieval tracery was removed by 1850. The rebuilt clerestory features five quatrefoil Victorian windows. The two-stage west tower includes a northeast stair turret and diagonal west buttresses. The west doorway is formed of three moulded orders, above which are two-light windows. The bell chamber has two-light windows with an outer arch of three orders. The upper storey replaced a former belfry, which was removed in 1850, and a coped parapet tops the tower.

Inside, the chancel arch, dating from the early 15th century, consists of two moulded orders that blend into the walls. The nave arcade spans five bays with pointed arches of two moulded orders. The piers are made up of four engaged shafts with bell capitals and bases that are moulded. There are modern stops to the moulded labels across the arches. The tower arch is of three acutely pointed orders, with the outermost being continuous while the inner two feature three attached shafts, moulded bell capitals and bases. A piscina and sedilia range are present in the chancel. Four bays of cusped ogee arches, with moulded capitals, are featured, and shields depicting the instruments of the Passion are set within the spandrels. A piscina is located in the left bay. On the north side of the chancel is a three-bay oak screen with cusped foiled arches from the 15th century. The octagonal font has tracery pattern panels on its bowl and stem, and a moulded base, dating back to around 1400. A brass on the north wall of the chancel commemorates John Mordon alias Andrew, who died in 1410, depicting a priest in mass vestments. Stained glass by O’Connor from 1865 is in the north chancel window. A War Memorial, created by Farmer and Brindley around 1920, stands at the west end, featuring an alabaster angel on an oxblood marble plinth.
