Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church incorporating fabric from the 11th century, with significant additions and alterations spanning several centuries. The nave dates back to the 11th century, with a south arcade added in the late 12th century. A west tower was constructed in the mid-13th century, while the south aisle was widened in the 14th century and a chancel was added around the same time. The clerestory is from the 15th century, and the north wall of the nave was rebuilt, along with the addition of the south or Finch Memorial Chapel, around 1670. The church is built of coursed rubblestone with lead roofs.

The chancel has two bays and a south chapel, while the nave has three bays and a west tower. The east window features intersecting tracery. The south-east chapel contains hollow-chamfered mullioned and transomed three-light windows with hood moulds. The clerestory has three 15th-century two-light windows, each with quatrefoils. A 17th-century two-light window with 15th-century jambs is visible on the south aisle, along with a late 17th-century doorway featuring an eared architraved doorcase and a cornice above, with a timber sundial located above the door. A 15th-century two-light window is positioned to the left, and a further two-light window is present to the west. The north wall of the nave has three buttresses, one bearing the date 1670. A 14th-century north door has a reused frame, with a 17th-century doorcase inside. The three-stage west tower features a 17th-century west door and two-light belfry windows.

Internally, the chancel arches are of two chamfered orders leading into the chapel and nave. The south nave arcade has three bays, with the eastern two bays dating to around 1200. One column is square, and cylindrical towards the east with a capital displaying shallow leaf ornament springing from interlaced arcading. The 15th-century roof of the south aisle, in the west bay, features moulded principals supported on the south side by curved braces springing from embattled and moulded wood corbels. Intermediate principals and purlins are chamfered and stopped. The chapel roof is from the 17th century, with moulded main timbers. A piscina and two-bay sedilia are located in the south aisle, while the chancel and chapel exhibit 17th-century black and white marble flooring. A 13th-century font has a tapering circular bowl with shallow trefoil-headed arcading, and a 17th-century wood font cover is present.

In 1670, Sir Henage Finch refitted the church, and these furnishings largely remain. Wainscot panelling is found in the chancel and nave, with north and south doorcases exhibiting eared architraves and cornices. Panelled doors lead into the spaces. The pulpit is hexagonal, resting on a pointed ogee base with moulded side panels and a large flat sounding board. A late 17th-century reredos is located in the south chapel, featuring commandment panels. A broken pediment and flaming urn of wood are positioned above the central panel. The communion table has twisted legs, and the communion rails have central gates and twisted balusters. Screens leading into the south chapel have double doors, twisted balusters in the upper half, and moulded cornices. A close-panelled screen with panelled doors is present in the tower arch.

A monument in the chapel commemorates Sir Henage Finch, 1st Earl of Nottingham, (1621-1682), Lord Chancellor. The altar features inscription slabs on its sides, arms on its ends, and Corinthian columns at its corners, supporting an entablature with a panelled soffit. Marble curtains and a marble reclining effigy are also present, along with curved broken pediments.
