Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with origins dating back to the 13th century, featuring alterations from the 14th and 16th centuries, as well as extensive modifications and refitting in the 18th century. The building is constructed of flint and rubble with ashlar dressings, partly faced in brick and partly rendered, and is whitewashed. It has tiled roofs with some stone slate margins and a west bellcote.

The chancel has an east window with three graduated ogee, trefoil-headed lights, a blocked 13th-century lancet window to the north, and two 18th-century elliptically headed windows with leaded lights to the south. The nave features 18th-century round-headed windows with keystones and imposts on the west wall, round-headed south windows, and two north wall windows, likely from the 18th century, with four-centred heads and reset medieval labels with carved stops. The south porch includes an 18th-century archway with a semi-circular head.

Inside, the chancel arch displays a Palladian motif with a shallow elliptical arch supported by slender Tuscan columns. The chancel has a raised bench pew with a balustraded front and pilasters supporting a canopy, along with 18th-century panelled box pews. There is a polygonal timber pulpit from the 18th century with panelled sides and a moulded cornice, and an 18th-century west gallery. The roof is plastered and barrel-vaulted, with the chancel retaining 16th-century moulded tie-beams and the nave having plain tie beams. The reading desk matches the other fittings and is from the 18th century. The font is a 15th-century piece with an octagonal stone bowl on an octagonal panelled stem, set on a re-used 18th-century marble attic base, alongside an 18th-century gadrooned font in the form of a baluster. There is also a 14th-century niche in the chancel with a trefoiled ogee head. The turned communion rails, added in the 1970s, are dedicated to Sir Owen Morshead. The interior is a notable example of an 18th-century parish church that has remained largely untouched by Victorian restoration.
