Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* Anglican church located in Preston Village. It dates from the 13th and 14th centuries and was restored in 1862. The building is constructed of random coursed rubble stone with flush quoins and features a stone slate roof with coped gables. A notable feature is the impressive tiered 14th-century bellcote at the east end.

The church includes a west tower, a nave with transepts, a south porch, and a chancel with a small north vestry. The Perpendicular tower has two stages, a plinth, a string course, stepped diagonal buttresses, and an embattled parapet. There is a small stair tower in the southeast corner, and each face of the tower has double belfry lights. The west face features a Tudor-arch doorway and a three-light window above, adorned with two carved heads.

The south porch has a large trefoil archway, a coped gable, and small side buttresses, with a trefoil niche to the right on the inside. The windows on the three sides of the south transept and the south side of the chancel are from different periods. The three-light east window has an Early English surround.

Inside, the nave roof consists of five bays with collar beams and arched braces supported by 19th-century carved stone corbels. The chancel arch is small and stepped, while the transept arches are plain and chamfered, all dating from the 13th century. The east side of the chancel arch features three fine 13th-century wall tablets, and the piscina and sedilia on the south side were remodelled during the restoration. The floor is laid with encaustic tiles from the 19th century, and there is a Norman font.
