Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with origins dating back to the 12th century, with later additions from the 14th, 15th, and a restoration in the 19th century. It features random rubble construction with irregular larger stone quoins on the transepts and chancel, and more squared stonework on the upper part of the tower, which is finished with an ashlar parapet and a tiled roof. The church comprises a nave, transepts, chancel, west tower, south porch, and vestry.

The tower has four stages, marked by plain string courses. The lowest stage includes a central pilaster buttress and a doorway to the right, with radiating voussoirs above a semi-circular headed lintel that has a steep segmental soffit. The second stage features a tapered lancet window, while the third stage has a trefoil-headed lancet and a two-light window with stone louvres at the top. Above is a moulded string course with diagonally set corner gargoyles, leading to a crenellated parapet adorned with crocketed corner finials.

The nave displays moulded stone and timber eaves supported by timber corbels, with a buttress on the left and a blocked round-headed window on the right, above which is a carved head over the ridge of the porch roof. The porch is gabled with a plain chamfered doorway and a flat-headed single light above, featuring an angled sundial. The south transept has a cross-gabled apex with remnants of a cross, and a two-light Y tracery window with a hoodmould.

Inside, the church has wide, plain arches leading to the transepts and a flat plaster ceiling in the nave. Brass standards from earlier lighting are still present. The Royal Arms of William III is displayed over the south door, alongside the Decalogue, Pater Noster, and Creed depicted on two trompe l'oeil diptychs on painted boards from the early 19th century. A recumbent effigy of a priest can be found in the North Transept. The church was restored in 1869 by A. W. Maberly, who also replaced the battlements with a spire.
