Description
The Church of All Saints is an Anglican church that dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of random coursed rubblestone, featuring a slate roof for the nave and a tile roof for the chancel. The church is primarily designed in the Decorated style and consists of a four-bay nave with an embattled parapet, a projecting gabled south porch, a north vestry added in 1846, and a west tower. The chancel has two bays.
The west tower is divided into three stages, marked by offsets, and includes large stepped diagonal buttresses on the west side. It has a pierced parapet wall with cusped lancet panels, corner pinnacles, and a recessed ribbed spire topped with an eagle. The first stage of the west side features a pointed arch moulded stone doorway with a hoodmould and a three-light window above it, while the upper stages contain very small openings, including two-light belfry openings on all sides of the top stage. A clock face is located on the south side, and there is a stair turret in the northeast corner. The nave windows are two-light with trefoil heads and a quatrefoil above, and the east window is a three-light window from 1831.
Inside, the church has an eight-bay king post roof with chamfered tie beams supported by side struts and corbels, along with open cusped lancet panelling flanking the king posts. The walls are plastered, and the chancel arch is double chamfered, with a door to the rood stair on the left. The south wall features a small cusped piscina, and there are wide ogee tomb recesses on the north and south walls. The box pews date from 1857, and the font at the west end has layered quatrefoil panelling set in front of a cusped wooden screen leading into the west tower.
