Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church dating to the 14th and 15th centuries. It is constructed from ashlar and coursed squared rubble with freestone dressings, and has plain tiled roofs. The church consists of a west tower, nave, north and south aisles with porches, and a chancel.

The west tower is a particularly fine example of a Somerset tower, rising in four stages with set-back buttresses terminating in diagonally set pinnacles at the bell chamber stage. It features a tall, blank, panelled parapet, pinnacles, and gargoyles. A projecting polygonal stair turret rises to the north-east, topped with a panelled spirelet. The bell chamber has two-light windows with stone grilles of Somerset tracery, while similar windows are present at the lower stages, although blank. Third-stage windows have transoms of cusped lozenges. All windows are under dripmoulds with diamond stops, with cill bands under the second and third stages. The west doorway has a pointed surround enriched with fleurons, and the west window is a restored four-light design.

The nave has a clerestory of four two-light, trefoil-headed windows. The north and south aisles each contain four three-light windows with cusped, ogee-headed lights under square heads and square dripmoulds. The south-east window has a four-centred head and cinquefoil heads to its lights. A pointed priest's door is situated on the north side.

The south porch is of two storeys with angle buttresses, a moulded outer arch under a dripmould, and carved head stops. It features a trefoil-headed light and two canopied image niches above; the smaller, upper niche contains a figure. The inner doorway has an ovolo and hollow moulded surround, leading to a late mediaeval studded plank door with strap hinges. A gabled north porch is also present. The east end of the chancel has an early Perpendicular (restored) three-light window with reticulated tracery.

Inside, the tower arch comprises two broad wave mouldings. There are four-bay arcades to the north and south aisles, with piers of alternating hollows and shafts and double chamfered arches. Similar arches are present at the west end of the chancel, but an earlier two-centred arch is located at the north-east corner. A four-centred arch with a panelled soffit and jambs is located at the south-east. The pulpit dates to the early 17th century and is made of oak, featuring carved, arcaded panels to the upper part and rosettes on the lower. The font is made of ashlar, set on an octagonal base with a square bowl and decorated underside.
