Description
The Church of All Saints is an Anglican church built in 1866 by Ewan Christian. It features squared sandstone with cream limestone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The church has a strong apsidal design with quadrant side chapels, a transept, and a deep south-west porch. The roof sweeps down over the aisle and curves around the apse, topped by a bell turret over the chancel. The design reflects a Trinitarian theme both inside and outside.
All the windows are lancets with trefoil cusping, set to a continuous string with cills. At the east end, there are three sets of three lancets in the quadrants and five tall lancets in the main apse. The west end features a triple lancet with plate tracery and two quatrefoil oculi, while the south aisle has a triple lancet with two trefoil oculi.
Inside, the church is unplastered, with alternating pink and cream limestone dressings on the arches. It has a three-bay arcade supported by cylindrical columns with stiff leaf capitals. The nave roof is pine boarded and plastered, with ribs over the apse and chancel. The quadrants contain a vestry on the left and a sacristy on the right.
All original fittings are intact, including pitch-pine pews, a communion rail on decorative wrought-iron standards, an organ in the north transept, and a font located to the left of the porch door upon entry. This church is a fine example of an unspoilt Victorian church that adheres to the principles of the Ecclesiologists and is in good condition.
