Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a chapel of ease built in 1861 by Sir G G Scott for Reverend H E and Miss C Jennings. It is constructed of sandstone with a plain tiled roof and a shingled spire. The church comprises a chancel, a nave with aisles, a south-eastern tower, and a north porch.

The exterior displays a consistent architectural style, featuring a plinth, string course, offset corner buttresses, and a corbel table leading to parapet-gabled roofs with cross finials. Windows throughout feature paired cusped lancets with trefoils under single hood mouldings, with a wheel window in the western gable and a west window set within blind arcading. Blind arcading is also present on the north wall of the chancel. The three-stage tower includes offset corner buttresses, lancette stair lights, recessed lancet belfry openings with roundels above, a corbel table, and a broach spire. The gabled north porch has arcaded side walls containing integral benches, with a moulded outer and inner doorway featuring attached shafts, hoods, and florid stiff-leaf decoration. The inner door displays high-quality scrolled C-strap hinges.

Inside, the walls are faced with sandstone ashlar. The church has four bay arcades with round piers displaying French-influenced crockets and keel-moulded arches. Corbelled colonettes are present at the responds. An open trussed rafter roof covers the space. The chancel arch is roll and keel moulded, supported on corbels, and simple hood-moulded arches lead from the south aisle and chancel to the tower chapel. The sanctuary has blind arcading with marble shafts and a string course, with windows featuring attached shafts. Fittings include a brass foliage bracketed altar rail, scrolled carved bench ends in the chancel, a brass lectern, and an enriched brass rail to a stone pulpit with dogtooth and water leaf enrichment and relief panels depicting the Apostles on a columned stem. A fluted stem and bowl font features an inscription and a Holy Dove. All fittings were designed by Scott. Glass in the chancel was created by Clayton and Bell in 1861.
