Description
All Saints Church is a Chapel of Ease built in 1867 by J Hicks. It is constructed of snecked rubble with ashlar dressings and features a gable-ended, tiled roof with stone copings. A bellcote is positioned over a slightly projecting west porch. The church has a plan that includes a nave, chancel, west porch, and a north vestry. The north and south nave and chancel are adorned with trefoiled lancet windows. The west window consists of a pair of lancets topped with a quatrefoil, while the east window features three lights under a two-centred head with geometric tracery and a label with carved foliage stops. The vestry has a shouldered door, and the west door is designed with two orders of arches, both chamfered, with the outer arch being segmental pointed and the inner arch two-centred.
Inside, there is a two-centred chancel arch made of two chamfered orders, with the outer order continuous with the jambs and the inner springing from respond half-shafts. The chancel arch respond half-shafts have carved capitals and corbels decorated with naturalistic foliage, likely created by either Grassby or Boulton. The nave roof features an arch-braced collar beam with curved braces above the collar, and the principals spring from corbels below wall-plate level. The chancel roof is also arch-braced and cusped, with principals springing from corbels. Notable interior elements include an octagonal font with quatrefoils on an octagonal pier and an octagonal wooden pulpit supported on a stone corbel. All fittings and seating date from the 19th century.
