Description
The Church of All Saints is a church built between 1881 and 1884 by C. J. Ferguson. It features narrow coursed slate with sandstone ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The structure includes a nave, a west tower, and a chancel with a south vestry. It has coped gables and quoins, lancet windows, and some single-chamfered mullioned windows. The tower has a north gabled porch, a two-light plate tracery west window, a south stair turret with a lean-to roof, and a west entrance with a decorated lintel. There are three louvred bell openings on a sill course and a projecting coped parapet.
The four-bay nave has paired lancets between weathered buttresses, with a small lancet on the north side to the east and a single lancet in the third bay. The third bay on the south side features triple lancets. The chancel has a sill course and angle buttresses, a gable cross, and three stepped lancets to the east with a vesica above. There are single and paired lancets to the north, and the south vestry has catslide roofs, a mullioned window, and an east entrance under a decorated lintel, along with a lancet to the east.
Inside, the church has a crown post roof with ashlaring. The tower arch features a half-glazed timber screen with Jacobean detail and 20th-century doors. The tower includes a 20th-century service area and has good late 19th-century stained glass in the west window and a small south light. There are Georgian royal arms and a board with the Lord's Prayer and Creed. The nave contains a coronate and wall sconces, while wall memorials from an earlier church, possibly from the 16th century, include a brass for the Castlehow family dated 1562 and a memorial for John and Jane Dobson (who died in 1742 and 1743), featuring a cartouche with scrolls and cherubs. The font is a basin of polished granite with etched decoration. The chancel arch rests on short corbelled responds, and there is a lectern on a tripod. The pulpit and stalls display Jacobean detail, and there is a south organ loft and sedilium in a window recess. The altar rail has turned balusters, and there is late 19th-century stained glass in both the nave and chancel.
