Description
The Church of All Saints dates from around 1200, with additions and alterations from the 14th, 15th, and 19th centuries. It features an Early English chancel, a nave, a west porch from the 15th century, and a large bell turret above the west end of the nave. The chancel has three lancet windows on each side and a group of three forming the east window. Although the interior and exterior have been restored, there is a 17th-century communion rail with balusters and a small brass from the late 16th century on the east wall. The plain deep porch includes small cusped windows.
Inside the nave, there are rich details, including a pointed chancel arch and tie-beam, with a 15th-century curved canopy above that once supported a rood, featuring ribs, bosses, and panels. To the north of the chancel arch is a deep niche from the 14th century with ogee tracery, alongside a small carved wooden pulpit dating to 1380. The opposite side of the chancel arch has a squint, which is obscured by a wall monument. Above the niche and monument are painted Prescription panels. Each side of the nave has a large three-light Perpendicular window, with an arched tomb recess below the cill on the north side.
The west end of the nave is dominated by the substantial timber framing of the bell turret, with the floor of the ringing chamber extended eastwards to create a gallery, resulting in a low ceiling in the western half of the nave. On the north side, there is a Royal Coat of Arms from 1672 (Charles II) and a panel listing donations, while the gallery contains a hatchment. The font is a plain octagonal Victorian piece. There are two stained glass windows by Kempe, installed in 1895 and 1898.
The exterior of the church is simple, featuring red tile roofing, flint walls reinforced with brick abutments, and stone dressings. The bell turret has weatherboarded sides and a low-pitched pyramid slate roof. The churchyard contains many plain 18th and early 19th-century tombstones, most of which are now illegible.
