Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed Norman church located in Laleham. It has undergone significant remodeling, particularly in the 17th century and more recently. The church features a west tower, a three-bay nave, a chancel, and a modern south porch. The tower, constructed of red brick in Flemish bond around 1780, includes corner piers with channelled rustication and moulded stone caps, one brick dated 1732. It has arched belfry windows, oculi for the ringing chamber, and a clock above a Venetian window, which was repaired in 1932. Below is a pointed doorway.

The nave walls have been restored and are made of brick with stone dressings around Decorated style windows. The south-west corner has an English bond buttress, and the gable end of the nave is also in English bond. The chancel's south wall has been restored, with a stepped east window added. The north wall features brickwork from around 1600 with black diapers, a Tudor arch doorway, and flat-headed three-light brick mullion windows with arched heads.

Inside, the church has an interesting three-bay pointed arcade from the mid-12th century, supported by scallop capitals and squat polished stone piers. Plaster has been removed from two arches to reveal the brickwork beneath, with the center arch featuring a billet hood mould. The arcade, which has been shortened in the 16th century, separates the nave from the north aisle and is built into the south wall. The chancel arch, made of 16th-century brick, is also pointed. The roofs have been repaired, and the aisle appears to have a medieval tie-beam roof with windbraces and arch-braced collars. The south door features keystones made from reused sculptured material from the 12th century.

The chancel and north chapel are separated by slender oak columns. There are several memorials, particularly on the south wall of the chancel, including one for George Parrott, who died in 1780, by William Tyler; Henrietta Hertwell, who died in 1818, by Chantry; and some 19th-century Bingham tablets. The north aisle wall has a memorial tablet for Thomas Arnold, whose son Matthew is buried in the churchyard. There is also a 19th-century font in Norman style and a Bingham vault in the churchyard. Additionally, there are several headstones, four chest tombs near the north aisle wall, and a double body-tomb for John and Sarah Chandler, who died in 1821 and 1802, respectively.
