Description
The Church of All Souls was built between 1896 and 1897 by J.L. Pearson in the Early English transitional style. It is constructed of brick with Bath stone dressings, and has tiled roofs with stone copings. The church is laid out in a cruciform plan, with a crossing tower, a four-bay nave with a clerestory, a chancel, north and south aisles, a baptistry projecting from the south aisle, a north transept incorporating an organ chamber, and a south chapel.
The tower has windows with geometrical tracery and a pyramidal roof. The top stage of the tower includes three louvred openings in the bell chamber, with blank niches between on each face. The north aisle has three bays and two-stage buttresses between the bays. It features three two-light windows and a four-light window to the west. The south aisle is similar, but with a gabled baptistry projecting on the left end, which has two single-light windows on each face and projecting semicircular corner turrets. The west end of the nave has a three-light window and three-stage angle buttresses, the top stage of which includes pointed-arched panels. The north chapel has a three-light window facing north and east. The south chapel has a three-light window on the south face, two-stage angle buttresses, and a five-light window on the north face. The chancel has a five-light window and two two-stage buttresses.
Inside, the nave features round stone piers and four-bay near-round arched arcades to the aisles. The crossing is ribbed vaulted, and the chancel and south chapel have sexpartite rib vaults. The baptistry features a ribbed vaulted ceiling with three sides of an octagon open to the south aisle.
