Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church with origins dating back to the late 12th century. The chancel and north nave aisle were rebuilt during a restoration in 1878 by the architectural firm Paley & Austin. The church features stone blocks on a chamfered plinth with stepped buttresses for the nave and tower, while the chancel is constructed of ashlar. The nave and south aisle have a shallow-pitch lead roof, and the north aisle and chancel are covered with graduated slate roofs. The structure includes a west tower, a three-bay nave, and an aisleless chancel. The early 16th-century tower is castellated and consists of three stages. A gabled porch, located in the first bay of the nave on the south side, is dated 1607. The nave aisle windows are characterized by three segment-headed lights beneath hoodmoulds, with the south aisle windows dating from the early 16th century. The church also has a parapet and lancet windows in the chancel.

Inside, the church features arcades with squat, wide pointed arches. A late 12th-century pier and respond in the east bay of the south arcade are remnants of the original crossing. The nave and aisles boast late 15th to early 16th-century roof timbers. An octagonal stone font, dated 1662, bears the initials D.W. and M.O. There is a piscina set in a trefoil-arched recess at the east end of the south aisle. Above the entrance, a panel painted with the Royal Arms from 1695 can be found. The north aisle houses a frame with three bells, one of which was cast around 1530 by John Woolley of Nottingham, while the others are dated 1637. The church also contains good 19th-century stained glass.
