Description

The Church of All Saints is a 14th-century church extended and restored in 1881. It is constructed of knapped flint with Bath stone ashlar dressings, some brick dressings, and a partially rendered south elevation, with plain tiled roofs. The church comprises a nave, chancel, north aisle, north porch, and north transept. It features diagonal buttresses with tiled caps, a plinth, a moulded stone string at cill level, gable parapets, and a stone bellcote on the west end gable.

The north elevation includes a gabled transept with a two-light window dated 1881. The north aisle has two two-light windows in two-centred arches, and a gabled porch with a two-centred arched opening over the north doorway, which itself has a stone two-centred arch with a cusped trefoiled head, wide chamfered reveals with leaf carvings, and a moulded plinth. A single-light window is located to the right. The south elevation is partially rendered, featuring a single-light window to the far left, a two-light window in the centre, and a three-light window to the right, all with cusped ogee heads under square-headed openings and drip moulds. The chancel on the south side is flint with brick dressings, and includes a two-light window to the left of a door within a segmental arch.

The interior features plastered walls with stone dressings. The nave has four bays with plain collared trusses, two butt purlins with curved wind braces on the upper one, and a four-bay arcade to the north aisle of two-centred arches, which are chamfered and recessed, and supported by short columns with leaf caps. Three windows on the south wall retain two-centred rear arches with roll moulds. The chancel also has three bays with collared trusses, and carved pendants. A central truss bears timber plaques inscribed with “E / EM” and the date 1659. A two-centred arched opening to the transept, now enclosing an organ, is visible on the north side. Fittings include a 19th-century carved screen separating the chancel and nave, a 17th-century carved timber pulpit, and a 19th-century octagonal stone font located at the west end of the north aisle.
