Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with origins dating back to the 12th century. It features a 13th-century tower, a 14th-century south transept, and a remodeled chancel. The north transept was added in the 15th century, along with the rebuilding of the tower. A north aisle or chapel was constructed in the 16th century, and the chancel arch was moved one bay to the east. The spire was added in the 18th century, and the church underwent restoration in the 19th century, during which the porch was rebuilt.

The building is constructed of rubble stone and flint with stone dressings and a plain tile roof. The chancel contains 14th-century windows, with the eastern window restored in the 19th century. Other windows are two-light trefoiled with a trefoil in the head. The north aisle or chapel features 16th-century windows, including a five-light window and a door. The north transept contains part of a 15th-century window. In the south bay of the nave, which was once the chancel, there are remains of a 13th-century south door and a 19th-century window. The south transept has mid-14th-century trefoiled windows.

On the north wall of the nave, there are two 15th-century windows restored in the 19th century, and between them is a blocked doorway from the 12th century with square jambs under a plain tympanum. The south side has a crude window and a hip-roofed porch with a 14th-century arch and door featuring earlier stones. The tower is buttressed, with the lower stage dating to the 13th century and the upper stage, which includes bell openings, dating to the 15th century. The parapet and recessed octagonal spire were added in the 18th century.

Inside, the chancel features a southeast trefoiled piscina, old rear arches, a squint, and a 16th-century four-centred arch with shafted responds and bell capitals from the north aisle. The chancel arch is 16th-century with octagonal responds and moulded capitals. The nave has a similar arch from the northeast aisle. The transept arches are 15th-century and the tower arch is 13th-century, with the outline of a steeper roof above. In the north aisle, the north window has a wider four-centred rear arch and a recess below for a tomb. The south transept also has a trefoiled piscina and paintings on the jambs suggesting a Lady Chapel. The roofs are 16th-century with moulded ribs and beams, and plaster has been removed in the chancel. The transept roofs are also from the 16th century. The pulpit features carved panels from the 16th century, and there is an 18th-century baluster font.
