Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building located in Church Square. Originally built in the Norman style, it was rebuilt in 1273 and underwent heightening and alterations in the 15th century. The tower, which was originally situated over the crossing, was rebuilt at the west end around 1521 to 1535 under the supervision of Roland Messenger. A cornice, parapet, and pinnacles were added around 1755 by Henry Keene. The church was restored by G. E. Street between 1873 and 1875, and again by J. Oldrid Scott from 1889 to 1890.
Inside, the church features an impressive architectural wall and several notable monuments, including one in the north chapel dedicated to the 1st Earl of Shelburne, created in 1754 by Scheemakers. Other monuments include one to Sophia, Countess of Shelburne, from 1771 by Agostino Carlini in the south chapel, and the Shrimpton monument by Westmacott from 1784. The church has a long nave supported by slender pillars in the arcades, and the south porch dates back to around 1275.
The Church of All Saints, along with the churchyard gates and nearby buildings including The Antelope Public House and Nos 5 and 6, form a group with Nos 1 to 3 High Street.
