Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints, built in 1876 by J Colson, is located on Ratley Lane in Awbridge. It is constructed from squared rubble Swanage stone with Bath stone dressings and features an old plain tile roof. The church has a plan that includes a chancel and nave, with a southeast vestry and a northwest porch.

The eastern end of the church showcases a pointed three-light trefoiled window, which has trefoils in circular tracery above a cill string course that extends around diagonal buttresses with gables and sloping tops. The sides of the church have two trefoiled lancet windows with hood moulds, separated by a buttress. The nave connects to the southeast gabled vestry, which has a vaulted ceiling, a shouldered door to the west, and a two-light trefoiled plate tracery window at the south end.

On both sides of the nave, there are stepped buttresses leading to the east, with a two-light pointed trefoiled window featuring a trefoil in the head, followed by a single light window in the next bay, and another two-light window in the next bay. The western bay also has a two-light window. The north side features a gabled porch with buttresses and a pointed door with a moulded arch supported by foliated capitals on nook shafts.

The western end of the church has a tall single-light trefoiled window and a rose window with cinquefoils in the gable, along with diagonal corner buttresses. Above the porch, there is a weatherboarded bellcote with a tapering lower section leading to a bell stage that has three trefoiled openings, with quatrefoil openings above on each side, topped by a short broach spire.

Inside, the chancel contains stained glass windows on the eastern side, a wagon roof, a reredos, panelling, and rails. The chancel arch rises from foliated corbels, while the nave side windows feature 20th-century stained glass. The nave has an open arch-braced roof and includes contemporary furnishings such as a carved timber pulpit and a stone font.
