Church Of Charlton All Saints

Anglican parish church built in 1851 by T. H. Wyatt, with a north transept added in 1891. The church is constructed of brick with some knapped flint, and has a tiled roof. It is designed in the Early English style and comprises a nave, chancel, south porch, and a north transept.

The gabled south porch has a coped verge and buttresses, featuring a double-chamfered pointed arched doorway with a hoodmould and angel terminals, and a lancet window to the east side with foliated terminals. The south side of the nave has one lancet to the left of the porch, and a pair and two lancets to the right, all hollow-chamfered, with hoodmoulds and latticed leading. There are dentilled eaves and angle buttresses. The south side of the chancel has two lancets, and a string course at sill level; the gutter is supported on stone corbels. The east end displays a group of three stepped lancets with a single hoodmould, and a trefoil to the gable. The north side of the church includes one lancet, and the north transept has a moulded lancet with foliated terminals to the east side, a 2-light plate-tracery window to the north, and a pointed west door with continuous roll moulding. The north side of the nave repeats the pattern of one single, a pair and two lancets like the south side. The west end has a central buttress and lancets either side, with a multifoil above.

Exterior details include stone coped verges to the roof, a cresting to the ridge, and a stone western bellcote with two pointed openings and a central shaft.

The interior features a 5-bay nave with an arch-braced collar truss roof and plain plastered walls. The double-chamfered chancel arch has octagonal responds, and the chancel has a plain raftered ceiling and a heavy elliptical arch to the organ chamber and vestry within the north transept. Original fittings remain, including pews, choir stalls, and brass oil lamps with wrought iron fittings suspended from the roof. There are two piscinae in the chancel. A font by Butterfield, located at the west end of the nave, was given in commemoration of the death of Henry, son of the 2nd Earl Nelson, in 1863. Notably, stained glass exists, particularly in the west windows by William Morris and Company Limited, depicting St. Andrew and St. John, in memory of Horatio, the 3rd Earl Nelson, who died in 1913. South nave windows contain glass by Mayers and Company of Munich and London, dating to 1891.
