Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the 13th to the 15th centuries, with restorations carried out in 1857 and 1886. It is constructed of stone, featuring a nave and south chapel with lead roofs, while the chancel has old tiles. The west tower is embattled and includes 14th-century two-light belfry windows, deep corner buttresses, and an additional west buttress that nearly obstructs the west window. The south porch, aisle, and lady chapel are from the 15th century and have offset buttresses and four-light windows, some of which contain old glass in their heads.
Inside, the nave has an arcade of two bays, which continues with one bay between the chancel and south chapel at the east end of the aisle. At the west end of the nave, there are two transitional lancets. The tower arch, dating from the 14th century, is supported on piers with three shafts and features a hood mould on corbels with carved heads. The east window consists of two lights and is likely from the 13th century. The font is also probably from the 13th century.
Notable monuments include a brass in the chancel dedicated to Hugh Parke, Rector, from 1514, and a monument on the south wall for Robert Crane, who died in 1672. He was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the son of John Crane, Clerk of the Green Cloth to King Charles II, who died in 1660. This monument features a panel in an architrave surround with a scroll base, scroll pediment, and a cartouche of arms. Nearby is a monument to Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Tresham and wife of John Crane, who died in 1624, presented in a panel with an eared architrave, entablature, and a cartouche of arms. On the west wall of the south aisle is an early 18th-century monument to the Hanstrapp family, which includes a draped cartouche with swags, arms above, and angels peeking out from the drapery on either side.
