Description
The Church of All Saints, built in 1818 and recently updated, is a replacement for a medieval church and is designed in the Gothic style. It features an aisleless chancel and nave, which function as a single cell, along with a western tower and a south porch. The design exhibits classical regularity rendered in pointed Gothic, with a symmetrical layout.
Externally, the chancel has buttresses on each side and a slightly projecting center section that originally contained a doorway, now a blank panel, flanked by windows (three of which are blank, with a smaller glazed replacement). The nave includes two windows set within blind arcades, with space left for the porch on the south elevation. The tower consists of three stages, adorned with crocketted pinnacles, a crenellated parapet, and flat buttresses set back from the corners. It features Gothic weathered bands alongside classical cornice and plinth mouldings. Most windows, except for the east window, are coupled lights with cusped heads and hoodmoulds.
The low-pitched slate roof is a recent addition, replacing the former crenellated parapet that once topped the nave and chancel. Inside, the church retains original features, including a pointed plaster barrel vault with a coved cornice decorated with shields and ribs, creating four bays in the nave and four narrower bays in the chancel, which transition to a five-panelled ceiling above the sanctuary. The divisions are highlighted by dog-tooth ornament within wider rib mouldings.
A screen forms an arcade of three equal divisions, showcasing richly moulded arches and cusped spandrels, supporting a moulded beam adorned with shields, roses, and portcullis devices. The columns and half-columns feature banded shafts. The east wall is panelled above the window arch, which has an ogee extrados. The east window contains a realistic picture as glazing, while other windows have colored side strips, and the porch features some 16th-century glass. Additionally, there are a series of fine wall monument tablets, with eight on the north side and five on the south side, dating from the mid-17th century to the mid-19th century. The church has modern slate roofing and stuccoed walls.
