Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building with origins dating back to before and after 1200. It features a 2-bay chancel and a 4-bay nave, where the eastern bay originally included a central tower and shallow transepts, identifiable by arches across the aisles. The nave is supported by massive piers with round arches and carved caps, and it has a tall clerestorey illuminated by lancet windows. The chancel showcases Early English style with quadripartite vaulting, resting on arches adorned with zig-zag and dog-tooth ornamentation, and clustered columns, some featuring stiff-leaf caps. The south side of the chancel includes later 14th-century lancet windows. Medieval canopied tombs are located on both the north and south sides of the east bay.

An external staircase at the northwest corner of the chancel, which served the central tower that was removed in 1657, still exists. This staircase provides access to the replacement tower built in 1659, which is a large red brick structure designed in a medieval style and attached to the north side of the chancel at the east end. It features plain corner pinnacles on octagonal corner buttresses, a parapet, and a bell stage with coupled openings framed by round arches within rectangular recesses. The widening floor levels are accentuated by bands of projecting ornamental brickwork, and massive sloping buttresses support the former central tower and the west end. The church also has a 17th-century brick north porch, low pitched leaded (and aluminium) roofing, parapets, and roughcast walling. It was restored in 1871 by Sir George Gilbert Scott and contains several wall monuments, an old chest, old bells, two brasses, and a stone 'barrel' font from the Norman period.
