Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church that dates from the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, with further alterations made in 1838 and 1875. It features rubble walls from different periods, some sections cemented, with stone dressings and buttresses at the west end. The roof is tiled. The church consists of a nave and chancel, along with a south aisle that has four bays from around 1180. A north chapel and a west tower were added later, around 1200, which were then merged into a wide north aisle. The chancel was renewed in the 13th century, and the upper part of the tower was completed in 1875 by R W Edis. There are 19th-century north and south porches.

The exterior includes lancet windows, some from the 13th century, and a cinquefoil window above the west end of the nave. The prominent bell tower features a steeple with exaggerated broaches, a timber-framed bell stage, and battered sides adorned with scalloped tiles. Inside, the arcades are supported by cylindrical columns, with the earlier columns on the south side having scalloped capitals, while the north side features moulded capitals. Remains of the rood stair can also be found. The late medieval roof has king posts, with the nave featuring modern tie-beams. The 14th-century font is hexagonal, supported by six short shafts around a central shaft. There are wall monuments dating from 1740 to the early 19th century, and one window contains etched glass in memory of the poet Edward Thomas.
