Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Norman, 13th, and 18th-century flint church with a red brick top to the tower, situated on Petham Church Lane. The nave is Norman and has a north porch, while the chancel dates from the 13th century and a south aisle was added later. The base of the tower is also 13th century, but the upper portion was constructed in 1760. Following a fire in 1922, the church was restored and the south arcade was rebuilt in a classical style. The four-bay nave has a restored roof with crown posts and features lancet windows. Several 18th-century wall monuments are present within the church. The chancel contains two piscinas, one with a trefoil head, and a similar piscina is located in the nave. The north porch showcases outward pointing zig-zag decoration. The churchyard incorporates 18th-century headstones, some bearing motifs of cherubs, skulls, or urns, along with oval bodystones and chest tombs.
