Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church dating from the 14th century, with the upper stage of the tower added in the 15th century. It underwent restoration in 1864 by Ewan Christian. The building features flint and rubble walls with ashlar dressings, and the tower is partly constructed of ashlar and partly of banded flint and ashlar. The roofs are tiled with gable stone copings, and there are shallow two-stage buttresses. The layout includes a nave, chancel, south tower above the porch, and a north vestry. The church has two-light pointed windows with curvilinear tracery, a similar three-light east chancel window, and a west nave window. The three-stage south tower has an embattled parapet and square-set buttresses on the first stage, as well as two-light belfry windows with Perpendicular tracery and stopped labels. There is a polygonal vice with an original door to the west and a pointed south arch to the porch with two chamfered orders.

Inside, notable features include a 19th-century chancel arch, attributed to Hicks, consisting of three chamfered orders with the innermost springing from a respond shaft with carved capitals. The vestry arch also has three chamfered orders, and there are cusped rere-arches to the windows. The nave has a 19th-century four-bay arch-braced collar roof supported by wall shafts with carved capitals, and the chancel features a 19th-century waggon roof. There is a 14th-century recess with a crocketted ogee head and other decorative elements, as well as piscinae in both the nave and chancel. A continuous 19th-century scroll-moulded string course runs along the nave, and there are two floor brasses with black letter inscriptions, one dated 1574 and the other 1508. The church also contains a 14th-century font with an octagonal bowl on a cylindrical stem, an 18th-century organ by Walker, and various other fittings primarily from the 19th century.
