Description
The Church of All Saints, built in 1850, is a notable example of Early English style architecture. It is constructed from snecked slatestone with granite dressings and features a moulded plinth. The church has granite-dressed angle buttresses and stepped buttresses on the north, south, and west elevations. The window openings are adorned with painted Bath stone dressings, and the west gable end is rendered. The steeply pitched slate roof is topped with a small cross on the east gable end and a stepped, gabled bellcote that houses one bell on the west gable end. The south-west porch also has a steeply pitched slate roof.
The church consists of a nave with a bellcote at the west end and a chancel that includes a south porch and a vestry on the north-east side. The ground slopes down to the west, and the south elevation features two lancet windows flanking the south porch, a pair of lancet windows near the centre, and two additional lancet windows to the east of a pointed arch leading to the south priest's doors. The porch has a plank door with ornate wrought iron hinges. The west end has a pair of lancet windows with a central stepped buttress, while the north elevation includes three pairs of lancets separated by buttresses, along with a small lancet on the east side.
The gabled south porch has three steps leading up to a heavily moulded, two-centred freestone arch with two orders of shafts that have moulded capitals. The label stops feature carved heads, and the side walls of the porch are pierced by carved trefoiled lights. Inside, there is a moulded two-centred chancel arch supported by engaged clustered piers. The chancel is elevated above the nave, accessed by four steps. The church contains 19th-century furnishings and a 14th-century font that was brought from the ruined chapel of St Martin at Respryn, St Winnow. The font has a round bowl with a carved decorated rim, a frieze of foliage scrolls, and four narrow panels decorated with a dogtooth pattern, supported by a round shaft and square base.
