Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church largely dating from the early 13th century, with significant additions and alterations made in the 14th, 15th, and 19th centuries. A chantry chapel was constructed around 1300, the south aisle and tower in the early 14th century, and the church was restored around 1858 by G.E. Street. The church is built of banded flint and sandstone to the south aisle, flint with some flint and stone to the chantry chapel, and ashlar sandstone to the tower. The roofs are covered with old plain tiles to the nave and chancel, copper sheeting to the south aisle, and roofs to the chantry chapel and tower are not visible.

The church consists of a four-bay nave and south aisle, a three-bay chancel, and a chantry chapel, along with a west tower. A mid-19th century stone gabled porch with a 2-centred archway and a studded plank door is centrally located on the south aisle. The south aisle features a parapet and two 2-light reticulated tracery windows. A 2-centre arched doorway is located to the left of the chantry chapel, leading to the chapel, alongside three 3-light intersecting tracery windows. The tower has slit windows, paired lancet louvred openings to the bell stage, and a balustrade with open quatrefoils. The chancel has a three-light window with cinqfoil pointed heads, while the chantry chapel features a window with unusual 5-light geometrical tracery. The rear of the church includes two 2-light Y-tracery windows to the chancel and a 3-light curvilinear tracery window to the left of the nave. A blocked doorway and a 2-light reticulated tracery window are also present. A Tudor-arched doorway with quatrefoil spandrels and a moulded hood is located on the left return, leading to the base of the tower, above which is a 3-light Perpendicular tracery window, probably a 20th century repair.

Inside, the chancel has a wood barrel-vault roof, the nave features a 4-bay crown post roof, and the chantry chapel has a Perpendicular roof. A lean-to roof with braces supports the south aisle and nave arcade. A mid-19th century marble and stone reredos with a mosaic panel is in the chancel, and a Y-tracery window connects the chancel and chapel. A 2-centred chancel arch is supported by half-columns, and there is a mid-19th century octagonal wood pulpit to the left and a road screen doorway to the right. The nave and aisle are separated by an arcade of four two-centred arches. A round Romanesque font sits on a square base with a 19th century wood cover. A 2-centre corbelled archway leads to the tower. Fine 14th-century stained glass is present in the east window of the chantry chapel, alongside an angle piscina with ogee-headed arches and tomb slabs on the chapel floor. The chantry chapel was built at the expense of Sir Miles de Stapleton.
