Description
The Parish Church of All Saints is a redundant church built in 1872 by architects G R Crickmay and T Hardy. It is constructed of squared rubble, with some parts coursed and others brought to courses, and features a tiled roof that is gabled over the nave and apsidal over the chapel. The church has a polygonal nave, an apsidal chancel, a north aisle, and a south porch, along with a bellcot on the west gable of the nave.
The exterior includes plain ashlar lancets and square-set buttresses. The gabled porch has a two-centred arch with continuously chamfered jambs and a label above it. The south door also features a chamfered, two-centred head and continuously chamfered jambs. Inside, there is a three-bay nave arcade supported by round piers with carved capitals by Grassby. The chancel arch has a two-centred, moulded head and continuous jambs. The nave roof is a scissor truss design that springs from corbels, while the chancel has a boarded, ceiled roof and the aisle features a tie beam roof.
The church contains a 19th-century pulpit and pews, as well as a 15th-century octagonal font adorned with quatrefoils that contain shields and roses, sitting on an octagonal plinth with trefoiled head panels.
