Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with origins in the early 12th century, significantly altered and expanded through the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, with further restoration work in 1875 and 1882. It is constructed of coursed flint with stone dressings, with the chancel rendered and having an old plain tile roof. The church plan incorporates a 14th-century chancel, a 19th-century south vestry, a 12th/13th-century nave with a circa 1300 south aisle under an outshot roof and a north chapel, a late 13th-century north aisle under a separate roof, a 19th-century south porch, and a 15th-century west bellcote topped with a 19th-century spire.

The east window of the chancel is a 19th-century, reticulated three-light window with a label. A headstone from 1699, dedicated to John Stubbs, the rector, is set against the wall below. A pent-roofed vestry is situated in the centre of the south wall. To the west is a 14th-century two-light reticulated window, similar in appearance to the east window. The north wall has two similar 14th-century windows, the western one being shorter. Beneath the east end of the north aisle is an 18th-century vault with railings and stone steps leading to a Portland stone arch. Above this is a 13th-century square-headed two-light trefoiled window with a label. Stepped buttresses, one 16th and one 18th century, flank the north wall at each end and centrally. Further north are windows with similar design, and towards the west a roundheaded doorway. The western window is square-headed with two trefoiled lights. The east window of the south aisle is a 19th-century two-light trefoiled window, and on the south wall is a 19th-century gable featuring a three-light trefoiled window. A 19th-century open porch with ornate timberwork is centered on the south wall.

Internally, a late 12th-century roundheaded doorway has a chamfered order and label. The west window is a 14th-century square-headed two-light pointed window with a label featuring curly ends. The west window of the nave is a 19th-century square-headed three-light cinquefoiled window. The chancel contains openings with 17th-century rear arches. There are restored remains of a reredos and a stone band cut with half-octagonal pilasters on either side of the altar. A trefoiled piscina with a pointed label is situated in the southeast corner, and a stone shelf is supported by brackets in the northeast corner. Squints from the aisles are visible in the west jambs of the windows. The roof is braced with collar beams and ashlar pieces, featuring a central moulded cambered tie. The 13th-century chancel arch has been rebuilt, consisting of two chamfered orders on later, wider square jambs. The nave has a two-bay aisle from around 1300, featuring a slightly pointed and chamfered stilted arch on square responds to the east, and a pointed, chamfered 13th-century arch on similar responds to the west. The south aisle, also from around 1300, is a three-bay pointed design with two chamfered orders on round columns with plain capitals. A 15th-century font, with a recut octagonal carved bowl on a square four-step base, is also present. The north aisle features a timber lintel over its windows, and a blocked north doorway has a three-centred rear arch. A pointed squint is located in the respond to the southeast corner, with a trefoiled piscina visible within the wall of the arcade. A squint is also set through the east column of the south aisle, and corbels are visible on the capitals of the other columns. The old roof has been altered in the 19th century, and a three-centred rear arch defines the door.
