Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that likely has 13th century elements in its chancel. The nave was rebuilt, and the north aisle and west tower were added in the late 15th or early 16th century. The south wall of the nave was rebuilt in 1827, and there was a restoration in 1900. The church is constructed of random stone rubble, which is mostly rendered, except for the west tower, and features slate roofs.
The layout includes a west tower, nave, north aisle, and chancel. The west tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a northeast stair turret, and a low embattled parapet. Each face of the tower has two-light pointed arched bell-openings. Most of the windows are from the 1900 restoration and are in the Perpendicular style. The west window consists of three lights above a pointed arched doorway, and there are both three-light and single-light windows in the nave. The priest's door is flanked by single-light windows, with the left window being ogee-headed and the right window being cusped-headed; both have iron stanchions and saddle bars. The east end of the chancel and the north aisle feature three-light windows.
Inside, there is a continuous north arcade of four bays with piers of Pevsner 'A' type and standard capitals adorned with abstract ornamentation. The nave and north aisles have ceiled wagon-roofs, with the nave's roof being particularly impressive, supported by angel figures standing on corbels at every alternate rib, and featuring large carved bosses at the intersections. The chancel has a plastered barrel vault with a moulded plaster cornice. The church also contains 18th century communion rails with alternating barley twist and straight turned balusters, a large octagonal Perpendicular font with tracery motifs, and 19th century seating in the nave.
