Church Of All Saints Attached To Mapperton House

The Church of All Saints, attached to Mapperton House, dates back to the 12th century with its chancel. The west tower, which was truncated, is from the 15th century, while the nave was rebuilt in 1704. A south porch was added in 1846, and the vestry was restored in 1908. The church features ashlar and rubble stone walls and has a concrete tile roof. The tower and the north side of the nave are buttressed. The west door is blocked but has moulding that returns over it. The tower now extends under the continuation of the nave roof. The chancel walls may be from the 12th century, with the east wall rebuilt. The east window has a renewed head from 1846. There is a doorway in the north wall that connects directly to the house. The nave, rebuilt by Richard Brodrepp in 1704, has three windows on both the north and south walls, each consisting of two round-headed lights set in a square head. A reset 13th-century south doorway is present, and the north doorway of the nave is blocked and from the 18th century, featuring a classical stone architrave.

Inside, the roofs are plastered and have a pointed barrel-vault shape. The chancel arch, dating from 1704, is two-centred and chamfered, and the tower arch matches this design. The communion rails, also from around 1704, have turned balusters, plain rails, and a central gate. The glass in all the nave windows includes 16th-century roundels, both English and Continental. In the chancel, there is a wall monument to Richard Brodrepp, who died in 1737, along with his children George and Etheldred, featuring busts and shields of arms, created by P. Scheemakers. The font, located in the vestry, has a cylindrical bowl with a plain upper part and a scalloped lower part, dating from the 12th century.
