Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church, originally dating to the 12th century, with substantial rebuilding in the 19th century (1888) by J. Oldrid Scott. The original medieval fabric includes a 15th-century tower. The tower and chancel are constructed of rubble stone, while the remainder of the church has a roughcast finish. The nave and chancel have tiled roofs, the aisles have lead roofs, and the tower is topped with a small leaded spire.

The tower is relatively short in comparison to the heightened nave and features a moulded ashlar parapet, diagonal buttresses, and two-light traceried openings to the bell-chamber and west side. The nave has a 19th-century clerestory with four bays of cusped roundels. The north aisle was built in 1839, while the south aisle dates to 1888, both featuring four bays of two-light traceried windows. Both aisles incorporate restored Norman doorways with roll-moulded arches on shafts supported by cushion capitals. The east bay of the north aisle is a small chapel with a shallow gabled roof and a reused 13th-century east window of four traceried, uncusped lights. The south aisle has reused 15th to 16th-century windows to the east and west, and a 19th-century timber gabled porch. The chancel was extended in the 19th century and contains a 19th-century three-light traceried east window, positioned below a reused pair of 15th-century cusped lights. The south side of the chancel has two 19th-century ogee lights and a small doorway; the north side has a restored cusped lancet and a small blocked window with a semi-circular head.

Inside, the tower is accessed via a low, wide, double-chamfered arch, featuring a deeply splayed head to a 12th-century window above. The nave arcades are 19th-century, and the nave and aisles have corresponding 19th-century roofs. The south aisle contains a semi-circular arched recess with a similarly arched piscina, and another piscina with an octagonal shaft. The mid-13th century chancel arch displays traces of original paintings on its soffit. The chancel features two 17th-century roof trusses, both with curved queen posts; the western truss has an elaborate pendant within a central cusped arch, dated 1639. Notable fittings include a 17th-century chair inscribed 'I G Thomas Pavier' in the chancel, 17th to 18th-century turned baluster rails and a chest in the south chapel, a 15th-century heptagonal font with traceried panels, and a decorative wooden font cover crafted by Canon Vernon Staley around 1914. Monuments include a small brass inscription tablet to John and Mabil Hood circa 1540 in the chancel, and a marble tablet with pilaster strips, cornice, base, and armorial crest to Mary Belson (1715), located on the west wall of the nave.
