Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church located in Tarrant Keyneston, with its tower dating back to the 15th century and the rest of the church constructed in 1852 by T.H. Wyatt. The building is made of flint and rubble, with the tower featuring banded stonework. It has tiled roofs with stone copings and a layout that includes a nave, chancel, north vestry, north aisle, and west tower.

The west tower consists of two stages and has an embattled parapet, with weathered strings separating the stages. It has a restored pointed west window with Perpendicular tracery and a stopped label, diagonal buttresses, a small round-headed window on the upper stage of the south wall, and square-headed, two-light Perpendicular windows in the belfry. Most of the remaining windows are one, two, or three lights under pointed heads with Perpendicular tracery. The north vestry features a pointed three-light window with reticulated tracery, while the porch has a moulded pointed head and a label with carved stops.

Inside, the church has a three-bay pointed nave arcade supported by octagonal piers with moulded caps. The pointed tower arch consists of two chamfered orders that die into responds, and the chancel arch is moulded and pointed with respond half-shafts and a label with carved stops. The chancel has a 19th-century scissor truss roof, and the nave features an arch-braced collar truss that springs from corbels. There is a 19th-century octagonal timber pulpit accessed by a short vice, a stone font with quatrefoils on four sides, and wrought-iron Art Nouveau communion rails dated 1906. Most of the other interior features are also from the 19th century.
