Description

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with a late 15th-century tower and the remainder rebuilt in 1862, designed in the 19th century by Charles Turner of Southampton. It is constructed of coursed rubble and coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings, and has gable-ended tiled roofs with stone copings. The church plan includes a nave, chancel, north and south aisles, a west tower, and a north vestry. The tower is largely in the Perpendicular style, while the 19th-century work is mainly Decorated.

The west tower has three stages with weathered strings, an embattled parapet, and diagonal buttresses. A rectangular vice is present. The west door has a moulded four-centred head and a stopped label. The west window is of three lights with reticulated tracery under a two-centred head with a stopped label. A single cusped light is on the second stage of the south wall. The bell stage has two-light, two-centred Perpendicular windows with stopped labels.

The north aisle has two-light square-headed north windows, some of which are possibly medieval and have been reset. The west door is moulded and two-centred, with jambs and a label with head stops. The west window is of three lights under a two-centred head. The south aisle has two-light south windows with curvilinear tracery under two-centred heads, a similar west window, and an east window of three lights with reticulated tracery under a two-centred head with returned labels, which may be partly medieval and reset. The east chancel window is two-centred, of three lights with reticulated tracery and a label with head stops. A gabled south porch has a two-centred moulded arch.

Inside, the church has two-bay, two-centred arcades on piers with four shafts separated by hollow chamfers, moulded capitals, and bases. A moulded, semi-circular chancel arch has flat jambs with capitals, and a two-centred, moulded tower arch dies into flat jambs. The roof is an arch-braced collar truss design. A 14th-century trefoiled piscina is reset in the south aisle. A probably 19th-century font has a round bowl on a cylindrical shaft. There are 19th-century pews, some with linenfold carved panels. A monument to John Dowding, dated 1747, is located in the tower.
