Description
The Church of All Saints, built between 1843 and 1845, was designed by architect Benjamin Ferrey with assistance from A D H Acland-Troyte, who also contributed to its construction. The church is made of hammer-dressed limestone with ashlar Ham stone dressings and features pitched stone slate roofs with coped gables on kneelers. It consists of a four-bay nave, two aisles, a vestry, a chancel, and a northwest tower. Architectural details include a moulded plinth, a string course below the windows, and carved ornamentation in the eaves cornice, along with buttresses and windows showcasing reticulated tracery. The tower features deeply moulded and traceried bell openings, topped by an octagonal broach spire with three storeys of traceried lucarnes, each adorned with a gablet. The base of the tower has a deeply moulded and elaborately carved door with a crocketed gable and a circle inscribed with a trilobe in the tympanum, a carving executed by Acland-Troyte himself.
Inside, the church boasts a hammer-beam roof with elegant wind braces and contains a notable monument to Matthew Chubb from 1617 located in the porch. At the west end, there are ornamental iron railings and gates, along with a lamp bracket at the southeast corner that illuminates the ashlar steps leading into the churchyard. The Church of All Saints, along with Nos 21 to 26, forms a group with No 1 Cornhill.
