Description

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican parish church, originally built in the 14th century and significantly altered in 1896 by C.E. Ponting. It features squared limestone rubble and a stone slate roof. The nave was rebuilt from the old church, and a new chancel was added at a cost of £1,300. The entrance porch dates from the 14th century and includes wave moulding and a hood, with a sundial above. The inner door has a simple chamfer. The nave contains two and three-light ogee-headed windows from the 14th century, while the chancel windows are in the Perpendicular style, featuring a three-light east window and a two-light north window, both with flattened cusping. The church has angle buttresses and an organ recess beneath an extension of the chancel roof, as well as foliated crosses on the gables.

The tower, located over the west bay, is timber-framed and roughcast externally, with two-light pointed bell openings and a hipped gablet roof. Inside, the porch features an ogee niche with remnants of red paint and an arch-braced collar beam roof on a moulded wall plate, with false purlins and an incised date of 1659. The nave consists of five bays with an open timber roof, likely of medieval origin but dated 1638 on a crenellated wall plate. This roof bears inscriptions and initials IT, IL, and CW 1783 on the purlin. The 17th-century carved principal rafters and decorated purlins are complemented by wavy windbraces in the lowest bay. The east bay of the roof is panelled with carved bosses at the intersections of moulded ribs, while the west bay contains a heavy braced frame for the tower. The chancel features a panelled barrel vault and original 19th-century fittings.

Notable fittings include a limestone font from the 13th century with a four-lobed basin on a slightly lobed stem, a simple oak panelled pulpit from the 18th century with a tester, and a 19th-century screen across the west bay of the nave that forms a vestry.
