Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building located on the south side of High Street in Banstead. It dates from the late 12th century to the early 13th century and was restored in 1861 by the architect G.E. Street. The church is constructed of knapped flint with stone dressings and features a plain tile roof. It has a five-bay aisled nave with north and south chapels leading to a three-bay chancel, as well as a west tower, and north and south porches, along with a northeast vestry.
The tower is two stages high with set-back buttresses and a shingled broach spire topped with a weathervane and a gilt clock visible on three faces. The nave includes leaded dormers beneath hipped roofs and gabled timber porches, with an oak north door. The north chancel chapel features a 15th-century window at the east end, while the south chancel chapel has been rendered and restored by the Lambert family in the late 19th century.
Inside, the nave arcade consists of two bays supported by octagonal piers with blocked-out crocket capitals. The chancel chapels also have two bays with octagonal piers, and the northern pier has alternating flat and hollow sides. The tower and chancel arch have slight chamfers. An octagonal perpendicular font with traceried panels sits on a plinth. Notable monuments include a tablet in the east wall of the nave commemorating Paul Tracey, who died in 1618, and Mrs. Elizabeth Till, who died in 1748. There is a Rococo cartouche on the south aisle wall with brackets and pilasters on either side, honoring Nicholas Lambert, who died in 1755, and a pilastered aedicular monument with a garland in the predella. Additionally, there is a Grecian monument for Wilmot Lambert, who died in 1815, featuring a rising female figure.
