Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade II listed church located on Church Hill in Chilton. It dates back to the 12th century with a nave, a south aisle added in the 13th century, and a chancel from the 14th century. The tower and porch were constructed around 1847, while the chancel was restored in 1876 by the architect G.E. Street. The nave roof was replaced around 1962. The chancel features roughcast, likely on clunch, and the south aisle has a rendered finish, probably also on clunch. The tower is built of coursed rubble stone with stone dressings, and the church has a 20th-century plain-tile roof, though the tower's roof is not visible.
The church has a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, a south aisle, and a west tower. To the left of the south aisle is a stone porch with a two-centred archway that has a hood mould supported by half-columns. There is a ribbed door leading to a two-centre arched doorway. A two-light stone mullion window is located to the right of the aisle. The chancel has a two-centre arched doorway at its centre, with perpendicular two-light stone mullion windows featuring cusped heads on either side. The west end of the south aisle has a paired lancet window, while the nave has a perpendicular two-light stone mullion window with cusped heads to its left. The east end of the chancel is adorned with a three-light window featuring reticulated tracery. The north side of the chancel includes two trefoil-topped lancets, and there is a perpendicular three-light stone mullion window with cusped heads to the left of the nave. A blacked round-arched door is positioned to the right of centre.
The tower has paired lancets on the lower stage on the north side, a Y-tracery window on the second stage on the west side, and two-light plate tracery louvred openings on each side of the top stage, topped with a battlemented parapet. Inside, the chancel has a common-rafter braced-collar-truss roof and a two-centred chancel arch. The nave features a 19th-century wooden pulpit and a 20th-century roof, while the aisle has a 19th-century cross-braced roof. The arcade to the south aisle consists of two two-centred arches on a round column, and there is an octagonal stone font. A 20th-century addition to the tower is not considered to have special architectural interest.
