Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a building of late 11th/early 12th century origin, with significant additions and alterations in the 13th and 14th centuries. It was largely rebuilt in 1876 by T.H. Wyatt, and displays a Georgian style top stage to the west tower. The church is constructed of stucco over chalk and flint rubble, with a brick north transept, and has a gabled 19th-century tile roof with red ridge tiles. The layout is cruciform, featuring a west tower.

The south wall of the chancel contains two early 14th-century Y-tracery windows, and a pointed, chamfered, blocked doorway, alongside a 16th-century one-light window. Two similar 19th-century windows are found on the north wall of the chancel. The north transept has early 19th-century windows in an early 14th-century style, while the south transept has an early 14th-century two-light south window and a mid-19th-century two-light window in a 15th-century style, accompanied by a lateral stack. The north wall of the nave features 13th-century trefoiled lancets flanking a 13th-century pointed double-chamfered doorway, with a 19th-century trefoiled lancet at the west end. The south wall of the nave holds a 13th-century trefoiled lancet, a 15th-century two-light window, and an early 13th-century double-chamfered doorway leading to a mid-19th-century door, accessed via a mid-19th-century porch with pointed moulded doorway and jamb shafts. A 15th-century two-light window and a 19th-century trefoiled lancet are also present at the west end of the nave. A mid-19th-century stair turret adjoins the tower.

The tower features paired 11th/12th-century lancets above a 14th-century lancet to the north, mid-19th-century windows, and on the west wall, a 12th-century round-headed lancet, 13th-century trefoiled lancets, a late 11th/early 12th-century tympanum with a figure-of-eight interlace under a roll hood, and an 13th-century trefoiled lancet.

Inside, the chancel contains an early 18th-century monument to the Chamberlain family, set within a Corinthian aedicule. Notable features include fine carved swags dating from around 1700, and a mid-19th-century roof. A mid-19th-century chancel arch leads to a two-bay arcade to the north chapel, which served as the Macclesfield family mausoleum around 1732 and contains a coved ceiling from approximately 1732 and floor memorials to John Chamberlain (d.1650), Elizabeth Gage (d.1693), and Thomas Toovey (d.1769). A plain wall tablet commemorates the Macclesfield family, and a mid-18th-century white marble tablet memorializes Samuel Toovey and his wife, who died in 1711 and 1708 respectively. The north transept was refurbished in the early 19th century as a Macclesfield family pew, featuring walls of blind tracery and an early 19th-century roof. The south transept houses a 14th-century piscina, a brass commemorating Richard Chamberleyn (d.1493) and his wife, a 17th-century wood carving of the Sacrifice of Isaac, and a monument to Robert Chamberlain (d.1602) comprised of a black slate inscription within a white marble surround with strapwork and black bosses. The nave has a 13th-century font with an 18th-century cover, a mid-19th-century roof, and fittings. The three-bay 13th-century arcades display unchamfered arches over octagonal piers on the north side, and chamfered arches over round and octagonal piers on the south side. The west wall of the tower features a late 11th/early 12th-century lintel with a star-in-square pattern. A drawing from 1822 depicts a Georgian cupola surmounted on the tower.
