Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church built in 1893, constructed from snecked limestone rubble with stone dressings and slate roofs featuring crestings. The church comprises a nave and chancel combined, with north and south aisles that include chapels at their eastern ends, a south porch, and a north vestry. It is designed in the Perpendicular style, with aisles consisting of six bays supported by buttresses and angle buttresses. The windows in the aisles are two and three-light with cusped lights and relieving arches, while the east end of the aisles features three windows and slate bargeboards.
The nave includes a four-centred arched west door and a three-light window, along with another three-light window at the east end of the aisles. The chancel sits on a plinth and has angle buttresses, a five-light east window, and a two-light south window. A foundation stone is located on one of the buttresses. The two-storey south porch, also on a plinth, has a nipped roof with a cross finial and shallow louvred dormers on either side. Its entrance features a four-centred arched doorway with jamb shafts, a hood mould, and quatrefoils in the spandrels, along with a three-light window above. Inside, there is a four-centred arched inner door with plain double doors.
The interior of the nave has a gabled roof with slate bargeboards and doors with lancets on each side. The nave features a 15-bay wagon roof with moulded ribs and bosses, while the chancel has a similar six-bay roof. There are five-bay arcades on the north and south sides, with four-centred arches supported by Cornish standard piers made of grey Plymouth slatestone with limestone caps. The arches have an inner chamfered order in limestone and a banded outer order. Similar arches are found in the north and south chapels and at the chancel. The east window of the chancel has nook shafts, and the other windows have chamfered heads. The aisles have wagon roofs that are ceiled, with visible purlins.
Fittings within the church include an octagonal limestone font in the nave, a wooden pulpit on a limestone base, and plain wooden pews. The south chapel contains stained glass dated 1899, while the chancel east window and the central window of the north aisle also feature stained glass. Other windows are lattice glazed.
