Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building, dating from around 1200, with an early 13th-century chancel, a late 13th-century south transept, and a vestry added around 1974. It was built for St. Swithun's Priory in Winchester. The church is constructed from squared chalk laid on a sarsen base, with limestone quoins and dressings, and features a stone slate roof. The architectural styles represented are Transitional and Decorated.
The church includes a chancel, south transept, nave, and a bellcote. The east window is a two-light design set in random bond brickwork from around 1760, while the side walls have a range of early 14th-century two-light windows. The south transept features a late 13th-century two-light window. The north wall of the nave has an early 14th-century two-light window, a 13th-century lancet, and a central door from around 1200, which has a moulded round arch, carved capitals, and imposts, with engaged columns on the jambs and a late 19th-century studded door. The south wall of the nave has a 13th-century lancet and a blocked door with a 4-centered arch. The roofs are gabled, and the stone bellcote dates from around 1663. The two-light west window, also from 1663, has cavetto moulded surrounds and a label mould.
Inside, there is a 13th-century piscina and sedilia, along with a 3-bay canted and planked roof from around 1870. The transitional arch features dentilled outer mouldings and carvings on the label stops depicting the Green Man. The south transept contains a piscina on the east wall. The nave includes a wooden pulpit and prayer desk from 1867, a fine brass chandelier from around 1800, and a lead font said to be from around 1200, featuring 14th-century ogee motifs in its pointed arches. Additionally, there is a 15th-century four-bay crown post roof.
