Description
The Church of All Saints is a parish church that was rebuilt in 1845 by the Francis brothers. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features slate roofs. The church consists of a 2-bay chancel, a 4-bay nave, and north and south aisles. There is a north vestry and a west tower topped with a broach spire, all designed in an early 14th-century Decorated style.
The chancel has pointed windows with two trefoil-headed lights, and the east window includes reticulated tracery. The aisles have pointed two-light windows with hood moulds that terminate in scrolls. The south porch is gabled and features a roll-moulded hood mould over a pointed archway, which is adorned with the heads of a king and queen, with grotesques on either side.
The west tower is built in three stages and has a semi-octagonal stair turret on the south side with lancet openings. The ground floor doorway is pointed, and the tower is capped with crenellations. The west door features one order of colonettes and a roll and fillet hood mould that stops in the heads of a king and queen. The belfry has two-light openings, and there are gabled openings at the base of the spire. The corners of the chancel, aisles, porch, and tower are supported by buttresses, some of which have carved animals, including a snake, monkey, dragon, and dog.
Inside, the church has an arcade of four pointed arches supported by clustered columns. The pointed chancel arch springs from engaged columns, and there is a pointed tower arch with wave moulding. The nave features an arch-braced collar truss roof, with the braces supported on stone corbels that have carved heads. The first-floor stage of the west tower is rib-vaulted.
Notable fittings include a 19th-century stone pulpit with blind cusped and crocketed panels, a bowl of a Romanesque font, and two medieval coffins that were discovered in the west tower during the 19th-century rebuilding.
