Description
The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church located on Rodbourne Road in Corston. It dates back to the early 15th century, featuring a bell-turret and a south porch, but underwent thorough rebuilding in 1881, with a chancel added in 1911. The church is constructed from squared and coursed rubble with stone dressings, ashlar copings, and stone slate roofs.
The layout includes a nave, chancel, west bell-turret, south porch, and a north vestry. The nave is adorned with 2-light windows in the style of the 13th century, which have pointed heads, hoodmoulds, and some face stops. The chancel features single-light windows in the style of the 15th century on the side walls and a 2-light east window with a pointed head. The bell-turret is open at the sides, has an embattled fret at the cornice, and is topped with a lead pyramidal cap. Below the turret on the west face, a buttress transitions into a gargoyle above a 15th-century two-light window with a pointed head. The gabled south porch has a triple-wave-moulded entrance archway and an inner round-headed doorway with a plank door, flanked by stone benches.
Inside, the nave and chancel are combined, featuring a barrel vault in the nave and an open rafter roof in the chancel. Notable fittings include several wall tablets from the early 18th to early 19th centuries, a Perpendicular style octagonal font on a stem near the south door, and a Jacobean oak pulpit. There is a 15th-century rood screen with a 19th-century base, and an early 18th-century communion rail with turned balusters. The chancel east window contains stained glass commemorating the First World War, while a window in the north wall features two attached Flemish roundels of stained glass.
