Description
The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church, dating to the 15th century with significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The west tower is from the 15th century, the nave has 18th-century windows, the chancel was remodelled in the late 18th century, and the church was restored in 1869, including the addition of a new north aisle by J.E. Gill of Bath.
The church is constructed of squared and coursed rubble with stone dressings, ashlar to the tower, parapet, and stair turret, all covered by slate roofs. It comprises a nave, chancel, west tower, north aisle, and north porch. The south wall of the nave has three round-headed, two-light windows with flat heads, a blocked round-headed doorway with a keystone, and one 19th-century cusped single light. The chancel has a matching light on its south wall, a three-light 19th-century east window with cinquefoil tracery, angel stops, and Gothic battlements with a crocketted gable apex.
The tower has three stages with setback buttresses, a polygonal northeast corner stair turret, and an embattled parapet with crocketted pinnacles and animal gargoyles at each corner. The west facade features a four-centred arched doorway with a moulded architrave and hoodmould, and a 19th-century two-leaf plank door. Above it is a three-light cusped Perpendicular window with a pointed head and dripmould, along with a further single cusped light with a straight head. The north aisle has two two-light 19th-century neo-Early English windows with rosettes, and the aisle's west window is similar in style, with three lights. A gabled north porch has a pointed-headed chamfered doorway and an uncarved statue niche, leading to a north plank door under a pointed head.
Inside, the nave includes a four-bay arcade leading to the north aisle, and a triple-chamfered tower arch. A trefoil-headed piscina is located on the south wall near the tower arch, and the space is covered by a barrel roof. The church contains fine painted glass from 1838, originally from Christ Church, Brighton, and inspired by the Reynolds window in New College, Oxford, which is housed within a three-light wooden frame within the tower arch. A 19th-century stone pulpit features trefoil arcading and Purbeck marble shafts. A notable memorial stained glass window was added in 1931. A Perpendicular octagonal font with quatrefoil panels and a 19th-century wooden cover stands near the north door. The chancel includes a 1822 neo-Classical monument on its south wall, while the north aisle west window contains some 19th-century stained glass.
