Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church largely dating to the early 13th century, with significant additions and alterations throughout its history. A south aisle was added in the later 13th century and extended in the 14th century to create a south chapel. A 14th-century south porch stands alongside a 15th-century clerestory and an early 16th-century west tower. The church was substantially restored in 1866 and 1889, and a 19th-century north vestry was added. A former north aisle, dating to the late 13th century, was destroyed between the 16th and 17th centuries.

The church is constructed of coursed rubble limestone, with a rendered clerestory on the south side. The vestry and chancel have tiled roofs, while the remainder are lead-covered. The west tower rises in three stages and features a plinth, diagonal buttresses, a moulded parapet dated 1674 with carved heads to the string course below, and a small projecting stair turret at the southeast corner. The bell chamber has single openings with semi-circular heads and square hoodmoulds. The west side of the tower has a doorway with a shallow pointed arch, a 3-light cusped window with a 4-centred head, and a small slit window above. The north side of the nave features a blocked door with a 2-centred arch, traces of another arch above, a single cusped light, a lean-to vestry, and a clerestory of three small lights, one quatrefoil and the others with trefoil heads. Wooden brackets support overhanging drainpipes, and a buttress with a broach-stopped finial marks the northeast end. The south clerestory has two similar trefoil-headed lights. The south aisle and chapel have 16th-century windows with cusped lights and flat heads, and an east window with reticulated tracery from the 14th century. A small pointed window sits between the eastern bays of the south side. The south door has a 2-centred chamfered arch, and the porch has a similar moulded arch with stone benches. The chancel has lancet windows on the north and south sides, and a triple window with a taller central light to the east. All openings have been restored to some degree.

Inside, a double chamfered arch leads to the tower. The nave has a south arcade with two double chamfered arches and a central octagonal pier. One arch remains of the north arcade, now providing access to the 19th-century vestry; traces of other arches are visible. The nave roof features 15th-century tie beams and purlins, with braces dated 1657 and remainder renewed in 1922. The south aisle holds a cusped ogee stoup, a wide recess with a moulded ogee arch and small window, a cusped ogee piscina, and a moulded stone book-rest from Pitchcott, re-set in a window jamb. Double chamfered arches lead from the south chapel to the chancel and also to the chancel arch. A circular font from the 13th century is present, along with a 15th to early 16th-century screen with a 4-centred head, carved spandrels, restored tracery, and a cornice above. Four early 17th-century pews with shaped ends are also in place, along with a Jubilee window of 1887 in the south chapel. A monument commemorates Rob Dell, Senior Church Warden, from 1739.
