Description

The Church of All Saints in Easington is a church of 1888-89, designed by C. Hodgson Fowler, as indicated by a plaque in the chancel. It is built of chevron-tooled dressed sandstone with Lakeland slate roofs, featuring stone ridge and gable copings, cross finials, and an embattled parapet. The church is in the Decorated style and comprises a nave with a north aisle, a chancel, a north-east vestry and organ chamber, and a west tower.

The tower has five steps up to a double-chamfered south doorway, set under a continuous hoodmould. A tall, pointed west window sits above a mullioned window. A vice is located at the north-east angle. Rectangular bell openings, those to the west and east incorporating open-work clock faces, are present. The pyramidal roof supports a cock weather vane. The nave has three bays, defined by buttresses between pointed windows with curvilinear tracery, hoodmoulds, and sill strings. The chancel has two bays with an ogee-headed south doorway. Chamfered rectangular windows are found in the north aisle, and a circular window in the gable of the organ chamber.

Inside, a tall chamfered tower arch leads to panelled doors and a glazed screen. The nave is plastered with stone dressings. The double-chamfered pointed north arcade has compound piers with round shafts, moulded capitals and bases, under a continuous hoodmould. The chamfered chancel arch has a double-chamfered head and short responds on long tapered corbels. The church features a hammerbeam roof with two tiers of curved windbraces, arched braces to hammerposts and collars, and a thin-pointed, panelled wagon roof in the chancel. A parclose screen separates the north aisle Lady Chapel, which contains an altar, chairs, bookrests, and other furnishings added in 1934 by Thompson of Kilburn. There is notable stained glass in the east window (1892) and in the chancel and north aisle (1907/08), created by Walter E. Tower.

A monument dating to 1621, dedicated to Katheran Conyers, is located in the north wall of the tower. A tablet above a late 19th-century basket-arched niche, set within a bracketed shelf, depicts a cot containing a sleeping child. Remains of a 12th-century chancel arch are built into the south wall of the tower on its first floor; these consist of three moulded orders comprising a beakhead, a hollow-chamfer with pellets, and a bobbin, with a moulded reveal, and also fragmented round shafts with carved capitals. A grave cover dating to around 1300, situated in the sanctuary, exhibits a foliate cross and stem and a metal inscription in Norman French, commemorating Robert Bucell. Numerous fragments of grave covers and carved stones are found in the tower and nave. Outside the south-west angle of the tower are a broken base of a medieval cross, with a recumbent tapered shaft, and part of a carved hogback grave cover.
