Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating from 1864, designed by T.H. Rushworth. It is constructed of dark red brick in English bond, with Bath stone dressings, and has tiled gabled roofs with coped gables on the east end and a bellcote on the ridge. A lower roof is present on the aisles. The architectural style is Early English.
The church's plan includes a nave, north and south aisles, a north vestry and organ chamber, a south chapel, and a west porch. The exterior features a high plinth with a weathered top, a moulded string at sill level, and a projecting brick eaves cornice. Pointed windows, some with plate tracery and others with lancets, are incorporated, all with hoodmoulds.
The north front of the nave has two two-light windows to the aisle. A projecting vestry has a small and a tall two-light window, the taller breaking the eaves. The east return of the vestry has a stone-surrounded door with a pointed head and hoodmould, plus a lancet window. The east front is symmetrical, with three lancet windows and a large rose window above, set within two concentric circular stone surrounds. The south front displays one two-light window with trefoiled tracery, two lancets, and two two-light windows with plate tracery. A weathered two-stage buttress incorporates a copper sundial. The west front, also symmetrical incorporates is a later porch with a flat roof and parapet, flanked by two large, three-stage buttresses. Two doors are set between three windows, all with pointed heads and stone surrounds. Single-light windows with trefoiled heads are located at each end of the aisles, and a circular window sits above central lancet windows, capped by a small lancet window in a stone surround.
The interior features polychromatic brick in English bond and stone dressings. It includes two-bay arcades with circular columns, moulded bases, and heads with gilding and nailhead ornament. Corbels at the arcade ends feature figureheads of Christ and Mary. Pointed brick arches support an arched-braced collar roof with moulded queen posts and plain, redundant crown posts. The chancel ceiling is decorated with a painted depiction of the Benedicite, with eight portrait roundels of Angels and Archangels on gold backgrounds in the two easternmost sections. Above this ceiling, ten scenes depict Old Testament figures in lozenges on gold backgrounds. A painted reredos depicts the Last Supper, flanked by paintings of the apostles in niches. Wall paintings depicting biblical scenes are present in the aisles. Stained glass by Kerupe, Hardman, Heaton Butler and Bayne is also incorporated. The painted ceiling and chancel paintings were restored in 1989-90.
