Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church with origins dating back to the 12th century, undergoing significant development in the 14th and 15th centuries. It was heavily restored in 1851 by J.H. Hakewill. The church is constructed of rubble stone with stone slate roofs and coped gables. It comprises a west tower, nave, south aisle, south porch, and chancel.

The 15th-century west tower features a pointed west door and a renewed three-light west window. Above the door is a canopied niche, and the tower is distinguished by diagonal buttresses, moulded dripcourses, flat-headed two-light bell openings with pierced stone panels, a panelled embattled parapet with corner pinnacles, and a central, openwork bell-spirelet featuring crockets.

The north wall of the nave, dating to the 15th century, has three windows with buttresses, a moulded plinth, and large, flat-headed three-light Perpendicular windows, leading to speculation of a former north aisle. A small circular east window is also present. The south aisle displays remarkable 14th-century Decorated detail, including a sill course and a massive ball flower eaves cornice that wraps around the west end, serving as a hoodmould above the three-light west window with reticulated tracery. The south side has stepped buttresses and a projecting ashlar porch. The porch has a moulded pointed arch with an ogee-headed niche above, and three flat-headed, cusped two-light side windows with buttresses between. A ball flower cornice is present, although it does not continue completely to the right of the porch. The right-hand two-light window has cusped lights and an octofoil head. The east window of the aisle is exceptional, featuring reticulated tracery ornamented with ball flowers and cusped lights, with a miniature scheme of the window's design between the buttress shafts within a blank bottom panel of the middle light. A large pig gargoyle is located between the nave and aisle roofs. The 1851 chancel has a ball flower eaves cornice, a south lancet, a door, a two-light window, and a gabled vestry with a lancet on the north side.

Inside, the porch has transverse stone arches on wall shafts and a stone slab roof. The original moulded pointed doorway leads to a C19 door. The aisle roof is a double-purlin structure, possibly original, while the nave has a broad, four-bay windbraced roof from 1851. A moulded tower arch, a five-bay arcade featuring circular piers and two-step pointed arches, and a green-man carved corbel (of remarkable size and quality, possibly C19 but claimed as original) are also notable interior features. The font is a circular scalloped Norman example. A fine, canopied niche is placed within the middle light of the east window. The chancel arch is C19, and the chancel roof is a scissor-truss design. The sanctuary features encaustic-tiled flooring and C1851 stalls. Stained glass includes a deeply coloured east window from 1851, a chancel south window from 1862, and nave north windows with patterned quarries from around 1860, a C14-style window from 1862, and a coloured window from 1864 signed Charles Gibbs. A roundel in the nave's east wall contains glass dating from around 1860.
