Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed church dating from the 14th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and a vestry added in 1894. It is constructed of roughcast stone with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. The church features a single-vessel nave and chancel, a west tower, and a south vestry.
The north facade consists of five bays. The first bay contains a 14th-century straight-headed window with two cusped lights, while the second bay has a 17th-century two-light straight-headed window. The third bay mirrors the first with a three-light 14th-century window. The fourth and fifth bays have single lights from the 16th or 17th century, with the fourth bay featuring a double-chamfered light.
On the south facade, the 17th-century windows include a hollow-chamfered light in the first position, and the second and third bays have two-light windows, with the second being double-chamfered. The eastern end features a vestry with quoins and a half-hipped roof, a Tudor-headed west entrance, and a two-light east window. The east end has moulded verges and a ball-finial, along with a three-light window set in splayed reveals.
The tower includes segmental pointed entrances, with the inner entrance dating to the 14th century. It has segmental pointed louvred bell openings and a pyramidal slate roof. Inside, there is a mid-19th century roof with collar and kingpost trusses supported by wall brackets. The west end features a small gallery between two walls, which includes a medieval holy water stoup and trefoil-headed panelling. There is a small font with alabaster shafts, painted boards displaying the Creed, Commandments, and Lord's Prayer, and a small medieval stained glass panel in a three-light window bearing the armorial of Pickering.
A black marble wall tablet on the north side commemorates Jane Cook, who died in 1771, and features an architrave and pediment. The east window contains stained glass from 1907. Additionally, there is a former font from the early to mid-17th century, made of timber with an octagonal moulded bowl on a 16-sided shaft, topped with an octagonal pyramidal timber cover. The church was originally built as a chapel for Killington Hall by the Pickering family and became a parochial church in 1585.
