Description
The Church of All Saints, dating from around 1100, 1200, and 1400, with 17th century and 1861 restorations, features an aisleless Norman nave that has been extended westwards in Early English style. It includes a north transept from circa 1400 and an Early English chancel, along with a 17th century bell turret at the west end.
The church is roofed with plain tiles, and the bell turret has a pyramid roof with boarded sides. The walls are constructed of flint and stone, with stone quoins, and the transept displays alternating horizontal bands of flint and stone. The chancel has lancet windows, while the transept features coupled 'Perpendicular' windows with hood-moulds and simple tracery. The west window has been restored and features plate tracery.
Inside, there is a pointed arch leading to the priest's door, and the north and south Norman doors of the nave remain, though blocked. The south door has a scalloped tympanum, while the north door features a recessed order on detached columns. The Early English west door has a moulded pointed arch of three orders, with two sets of shafts on each side.
The plain interior showcases the arch-braced timber frame of the bell turret at the west end, supported on brackets. Most fittings are Victorian, except for the 16th century bench pews. Notable interior features include a large classical monument in the chancel dedicated to Anne Eyre from 1748, a wall monument in the nave from 1759, several tomb slabs from the 17th and early 18th centuries, and two hatchments above the chancel arch. Additionally, there are mausoleums at each end of the church on the south side, which are extremely plain in form, featuring lead-covered low pitch roofing and fine stone ashlar walling with slightly-recessed panels.
