Description

Church of All Saints is a church constructed around 1867-8, with an enlargement in 1890, designed by A. Buckeridge. The building is constructed of rusticated and banded limestone and ironstone, with a slate roof. It comprises an aisled nave, a chancel with an apse, a south chapel, and north and west porches. It is a single-story building with an undercroft.

The apse features a three-window range of two-light windows with plate tracery and quatrefoils above. The south elevation incorporates a vestry with two single lancet windows and two-light undercroft windows below, along with similar east windows. The south aisle has a five-window range of two-light windows with plate tracery and quatrefoils above, punctuated by two-stage buttresses and a lean-to roof with a chamfered cornice. To the north, the aisle comprises a four-window range, resembling the south aisle, with a gabled porch to the right. The west gable has a lean-to porch with four pairs of small lancet windows and a lean-to roof, above which are three tall lancet windows and an octagonal window in the gable. The nave clerestory features a five-window range of double lancets, separated by flat buttresses. A blank half bay is repeated at the west end of the nave and aisles. The south chancel clerestory has a two-window range of quatrefoils. The roof is pitched, with ashlar gable parapets, a bellcote at the east end, and a finial at the west end.

Inside, a double-chamfered chancel arch has flat responds. The five-bay nave arcade incorporates single chamfered arches on circular piers with large, foliated capitals decorative banding of limestone and ironstone. A half arch leads from the south aisle to the vestry. A pair of double doors with pointed heads lead to the west porch. The interior features a wooden barrel roof. South of the altar are a pair of double sedilia and a piscina. The apse panelling displays gilt foliated decoration. A large marble altar is present, alongside a Perpendicular style rood screen with a crucifix above and a painted pulpit, both dating from the early 20th century. Stained glass by Kempe is notable: the apse window (1887) depicts Biblical scenes, the south aisle windows (1893) depict Biblical scenes and the Saints, and the north aisle windows (1903) depict the Saints.
