Description
The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church located on Froxfield Church Road. It features work from the 13th, 14th, and 19th centuries, with contributions by architect Ewan Christian. The church is constructed of flint with limestone dressings and has a stone-tiled roof. It comprises a nave with a south porch and bell tower, a chancel, and a north vestry.
The chancel includes two lancet windows on the south and east ends, the latter featuring monolithic heads and a chamfered water table. A benchmark is located on the south-east quoin. The nave is set at a noticeable angle to the chancel, and the alternating west quoins and some herringbone work may suggest 11th-century origins. There is a two-light south window with a quatrefoil head and no hoodmould, along with two later two-light windows. The late medieval west window has three lights. The north door is from the 14th century, while the south door is likely from the 17th century and features a 19th-century timber porch. Mass dials are present on the south-east quoins. The roof is half hipped to the west, and the bell tower, restored in 1892, is shingled and has six trefoiled lights on each face, topped with a pyramidal roof.
Inside, the church has a wide three-bay nave with a crown post roof dating from 1892. The chancel arch and the north opening from the chancel for the organ and vestry were also added in 1892. The chancel roof consists of two bays. Notable fittings include a low stone medieval bowl font, a 19th-century oak pulpit on a stone base, a 19th-century brass and round pole sanctuary rail, and an organ by Henry Jones of London.
The nave contains several wall tablets commemorating individuals, including a pink and white marble tablet from 1777 for Elias and Eleanor Ivy, a slate and marble tablet from 1766 for Joseph Drury, and others for Margaret Lowder, Grace Atwood, and Rev. Ludovic Evans, among others. In the chancel, there are additional memorials, including a white marble tablet on slate for Rev. John Gillmore from 1821, and an urn over brackets flanking an inscription on a sarcophagus. Above the north door, there is a notable Royal arms from 1671 and two devotional boards.
